Abstract
A method and device for storage management comprising: in response to receiving a request for creating an extent pool, creating the extent pool at least on a user disk, the extent pool comprising a plurality of disk extents; storing data in at least one disk extent of the plurality of disk extents; and storing address information for locating the at least one disk extent in a system disk communicably connected to the user disk. Through the technical solution of the present disclosure, the user can store metadata associated with RAID in the user disk and load metadata associated with RAID from the user disk so as to reduce the access and load of the system disk.
