Abstract:
Techniques for managing metadata at a control device involve: determining, from a cache page corresponding to user data, a first region for storing raw metadata of the user data, the raw metadata including address information for storing the user data in a storage system; in response to the user data being modified, determining updated metadata of the modified user data to update the raw metadata in the first region; and copying the updated metadata to a high-speed memory shared by the control device and another control device. Accordingly, the techniques are capable of reducing the usage frequency of the high-speed memory, thereby extending the service life of the high-speed memory and reducing cost.
