Abstract

A technique involves: in response to receiving a request to write data to a storage device, acquiring metadata of a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) extent that is associated with the request to write data, the RAID extent being built based on disk slices comprised in a plurality of disks of the storage device; determining, based on the metadata, a disk slice of data write-enabled RAID extent to write the data; and copying an identification and a degradation number into a metadata page associated with a mapper for data recovery, the identification and degradation number being comprised in the metadata and associated with the data write-enabled RAID extent, the mapper being used to map a physical space and a virtual logical space, and the degradation number indicating the number of times that the disk slice comprised in the RAID extent changes from being normal to being degraded.
