Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, and apparatus and a computer readable medium for controlling a storage system. For example, a method for controlling a storage system is provided. The method comprises: determining a control factor related to a background operation in the storage system, the control factor including a usage state of a storage resource pool in the storage system; setting a priority level for the background operation based on the determined control factor; and controlling execution of the background operation based on the set priority level. Embodiments of the present disclosure may accelerate execution of background operations, improve resource utilization efficiency, and ensure good I/O performance.
