Abstract:
A storage access control device  30  is provided with: a storage unit  32  that stores area management information  320  indicating, regarding a state of each of physical storage areas in a storage device  40 , any of a standby state, an active state, a format state, and a free state; a formatting execution unit  31  that formats any of the physical storage areas in the free state before the physical storage area is allocated as the logical storage area; an allocation control  33  unit that allocates, upon occurrence of access to a specific logical storage area(s) of the logical storage areas to which none of the physical storage areas is allocated, a first one of the physical storage areas in the standby state as the specific logical storage area; and an update unit  34  that updates the area management information  320  according to processing performed on the physical storage area.

Claim (Index 4):
The storage access control device according to  claim 3 , wherein\n the allocation control unit cancels allocation of a second one of the physical storage areas in the active state as the logical storage area according to an instruction from the host device, and the update unit updates a state of the second physical storage area from the active state to the format state when the number of the physical storage areas in the standby state indicated by the area management information does not satisfy second criteria, and updates the state of the second physical storage area from the active state to the free state when the number of the physical storage areas in the standby state indicated by the area management information satisfies the second criteria.
