Abstract
Techniques for managing metadata storage units involve: in response to receiving, from a client, a request for allocating a target number of metadata storage units, determining a first number of available metadata storage units remaining in a metadata storage space of a storage system after the allocation is performed; and if the first number is not less than a reserved number, allocating the target number of metadata storage units from the metadata storage space for the client to use, wherein the reserved number is associated with a usage condition of the metadata storage units in the storage system. Accordingly, such techniques can effectively manage metadata and improve the performance of a system.
