Abstract

Techniques provide for managing data storage. The techniques involve in response to receiving a request for unmapping a logical storage unit associated with a first disk slice on a first physical disk and the first disk slice, determining information associated with the first disk slice; generating, based on the information, a first entry and a second entry corresponding to the first disk slice; adding the first entry into a queue of failed disk slices to enable data stored on the first disk slice to be cleared; and adding the second entry into a queue of free disk slices to enable the first disk slice to be mapped to a further logical storage unit. Accordingly, such techniques can remarkably improve the write I/O performance of the system and prolong the lifetime of the SSD.
