Abstract

Techniques for RAID reconstruction involve: determining, from a task list, multiple stripes in a RAID that are involved in a to-be-processed task within a current task window, the task list including an external I/O request task and an internal reconstruction I/O request task, and each stripe including data on a first number of data disks and data on a second number of parity disks; reading data from the multiple stripes into a read buffer; and if data of the first number of data disks in a stripe among the multiple stripes has already been read into the read buffer, performing the internal reconstruction I/O request task on the stripe. Such a technique helps to increase the processing power and efficiency of the data storage system to recover the reconstruction of RAID stripes while coping with external I/O requests.
