Abstract

Techniques reconstruct a storage system. A first extent access load and a second extent access load of a first malfunctioning extent and a second malfunctioning extent in a malfunctioning storage device in the storage system are acquired, respectively. The first malfunctioning extent is selected as a source extent in response to determining that the first extent access load is lower than the second extent access load. Among multiple idle extents in the storage system, a set of destination extents that can be used as a reconstruction destination of the source extent are generated. A destination extent is selected from the set of destination extents as the reconstruction destination of the source extent. It is possible to preferentially select a reconstruction destination for a malfunctioning extent with a low access load, thereby increasing the reconstruction speed of the storage system.
