Method, apparatus and computer program product for managing disk array

Abstract

Techniques manage a disk array. Such techniques involve determining, from one or more disk arrays constructed based on a plurality of disks, a target disk array to be restriped, the target disk array being associated with disk slices on different disks and including a stripe to be reconstructed, the stripe including extents located in the disk slices; determining, from the disk slices, a first disk slice on which data migration is to be performed, a first extent of the extents being located in the first disk slice; allocating, on the plurality of disks, a second disk slice for storing data from the first disk slice; and reconstructing the stripe by migrating data from the first extent of the first disk slice into the second disk slice. Such techniques significantly reduce the number of input/output operations during stripe reconstruction while avoiding waste of storage space.
