Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing RAID technology is based on the entire disk. Even if a RAID group only uses a small amount of space on the disk, the disk cannot be allocated to other RAID groups again, resulting in low disk space utilization.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to a data read-in method, a disc redundant array and a controller thereof, wherein the data read-in method comprises the following steps: receiving a read-in request message comprising data to be read in and a logical block address to be read in by the data; looking up a logical disc unit corresponding to the logical block address and an idle physical disc unit corresponding to the logical disc unit in a set logical independent disc redundant array RAID according to a mapping table; and reading the data to be read in into the idle physical disc unit. The embodiment of the invention can effectively improve the utilization rate of the disc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a method for writing data, a controller of a redundant array of disks and a redundant array of disks. Background technique [0002] How to increase the access speed of the disk, how to prevent data from being lost due to disk failure, and how to effectively use the disk space have always been puzzled by computer professionals and users, and the price of large-capacity disks is very expensive, causing great harm to users. burden. [0003] The emergence of disk array technology has solved these problems in one fell swoop. The advantages of a redundant array of independent disks (Redundant Array of Independent Drive, hereinafter referred to as: RAID) exist in three aspects, namely, availability (Availability), capacity (Capacity) and performance (Performance). There are three main benefits of using RAID technology in the storage system: one is to provide disk spanning function by organi...
