Abstract
Techniques involve: receiving, by a destination device, first input/output (I/O) requests from a source device, the first I/O requests having first logical block addresses (LBAs); writing data in the first I/O requests to a cache of the destination device; flushing the data from the cache to a storage disk of the destination device; recording a particular LBA in the destination device, the particular LBA corresponding to the last LBA to which the destination device is flushed; and sending the particular LBA from the destination device to the source device to enable clearing of journals before the particular LBA in the source device. Such techniques reduce the time spent on replicating data from the source device to the destination device to improve the user experience and reduce the wear and tear of the journal log disk in the destination device to prolong its service life.
