Abstract

Techniques involve determining, in response to acquiring a target block size for a shared folder of a first file system in a file system set, a shared folder de-duplication rate. The techniques further involve acquiring a de-duplication block size set supported by a storage system set for the file system set in response to determining that the de-duplication rate is less than a threshold de-duplication rate. The techniques further involve determining whether the de-duplication block size set includes a de-duplication block size that is the same as the target block size. The techniques further involve migrating the shared folder to a second file system in response to the de-duplication block size set including the de-duplication block size that is the same as the target block size. Accordingly, there is improved efficiency in deleting duplicate data, increased amount of deleted duplicate data, saved storage space and improved resource utilization.
