Abstract
Techniques for allocating storage space of disks in a storage system involve selecting a current storage node from a plurality of storage nodes according to at least one previously selected storage node and association relationships between the plurality of storage nodes. Such techniques further involve selecting a current disk from a plurality of disks according to at least one previously selected disk, the current storage node, and association relationships between the plurality of disks. Such techniques further involve allocating at least one slice in the current disk to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) stripe. Such a technique can support a distributed storage system having more storage nodes, can greatly reduce the time for allocating the storage space of disks, and can make a RAID stripe evenly allocated between the storage nodes and the disks in the storage system, thereby greatly improving a success rate of data recovery.
