Techniques manage stripes in a storage system. In accordance with such techniques, in the storage system including a plurality of storage devices, a device correlation of a storage device in the plurality of storage devices is determined according to a request for creating a stripe in the storage system. The device correlation indicates distribution of a set of stripes created in the storage system between the storage device and other storage devices than the storage device. One storage device is selected from the plurality of storage devices based on the determined device correlation. One extent in the selected storage device is added to the stripe. As such, all extents in the stripe can be distributed as evenly as possible in the plurality of storage devices in the storage system, thus ensuring load balancing of the storage system and more effective management of the stripes in the storage system.
A method for managing stripes in a storage system, the storage system comprising a plurality of storage devices, and the method comprising:
An electronic device, comprising:
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium which stores a set of instructions to manage stripes in a storage system, the storage system comprising a plurality of storage devices;
