METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ALLOCATING STORAGE SPACE OF DISKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17987310 Titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ALLOCATING STORAGE SPACE OF DISKS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes techniques for efficiently allocating storage space in a storage system. These techniques involve selecting storage nodes and disks based on previous selections and association relationships. The selected disks are then allocated to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) stripe. This approach can support distributed storage systems with multiple nodes, reduce allocation time, and improve data recovery success rates.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
