Abstract
A storage system manages initialization status of a storage area block by block. The storage system allows reception of an access request indicating data write to Storage Area #, which is a part of an uninitialized block. Upon receiving the access request, the storage system writes data to the designated Storage Area #without initializing Storage Area #, and initializes, of the uninitialized block, Storage Area #not designated by the access request. The storage system determines that initialization of the uninitialized block has been completed with the data write to Storage Area #and the initialization of Storage Area #.
