Abstract

A storage management technique involves: receiving from a requesting node a write request for writing target data into a first target storage space in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID); if a storage device associated with the first target storage space does not fail, acquiring first data stored in the first target storage space and a first parity value corresponding to the requesting node and stored in a parity storage space; determining a target parity value based on the target data, the first data, and the first parity value; and updating a stripe with the target data and the target parity value. Accordingly, locks caused by updating the parity value can be avoided, so that different nodes can perform parallel write to different storage spaces in the same stripe in the RAID.
