Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for storage management. For example, there is proposed a method comprising: in response to a plurality of storage devices in a storage system being to be allocated to an unallocated logic storage area, determining a plurality of allocation schemes for allocating the plurality of storage devices to the unallocated logic storage area; obtaining allocation uniformity of the plurality of storage devices with respect to an allocated logic storage area of the storage system; and selecting one of the plurality of allocation schemes at least based on the allocation uniformity, such that the uniform degree of the allocation has a minimum variation. Corresponding device and computer program product are also disclosed.
