Description
technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of all-flash storage arrays, in particular to a garbage collection space management method, device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background technique
[0002] In an all-flash storage array, in order to reduce the write amplification of the SSD (Solid-state disk) in the array and prolong the service life of the SSD, the storage array software usually handles the write business of the host in a log-structured redirected write mode , so as to convert the random small IOs generated by the host write business into continuous large IOs and write them into the SSD. In this way, after the host overwrites, garbage data will be generated, and garbage collection is required to reclaim the storage pool space containing invalid data in time. The space area occupied by garbage data cannot be reused to receive host data until it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
[0003] However, the granularity of s...
