Abstract
Techniques for disk failure control involve determining the number of failed disks in a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). The techniques further involve comparing the number of failed disks with a predetermined threshold; and in accordance with a determination that the number of failed disks exceeds the predetermined threshold, setting at least one non-failing disk in the RAID into a protection mode to prevent the at least one non-failing disk from being disconnected. Such techniques facilitate prevention of the user data loss in the RAID.
