Abstract
Techniques for disk mapping involve dividing a plurality of disks into a plurality of groups based on the number and type of the plurality of disks. Such techniques further involve dividing the plurality of groups into a set of available groups and a set of unavailable groups based on the type of a target redundant array of independent disks (RAID), wherein an available group represents that disk units in the available group are able to form the target RAID, and an unavailable group represents that disk units in the unavailable group are unable to form the target RAID. Such techniques further involve enabling, by mapping one or more disk units in one or more available groups of the set of available groups into the set of unavailable groups, one or more unavailable groups of the set of unavailable groups to form the target RAID.
