Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a device, and a computer program product for storage management. The method for storage management includes: acquiring a reading request for a first target file, the reading request including a first target file name of the first target file. The method further includes: determining a first target characteristic value for the first target file based on the first target file name. The method further includes: determining first target index information for the first target file from a mapping from characteristic values to index information based on the first target characteristic value, wherein the first target index information is used to index the first target file from a merged file. The method further includes: reading the first target file included in the merged file from a storage system based on the first target index information. As a result, access to a large number of small files can be converted into access to large files, thereby improving the overall file access efficiency.
