The invention discloses a method and
system for accessing a distributed block storage
system in a user mode, an access module is arranged in an LIO TCMU of a computing node, and the method comprises the following steps: after the LIO TCMU is connected with an
iSCSI initiator, receiving a data reading request from a
data access party sent by the
iSCSI initiator through the access module; determining whether target data corresponding to the data reading request exists in a cache of the access module or not; if so, returning the target data to the
data access party; and otherwise, generating a corresponding thread in a pre-configured
thread pool in the access module, so as to execute the thread to request target data corresponding to the data reading request from the distributed block storagecluster and return the target data to the
data access party. The functions of caching, pre-reading, writing merging and the like are added to a
client, so that tasks originally processed by the
server are moved to the
client, the service capacity and the response speed of the whole cluster are improved, and while the access performance is improved, the bandwidth overhead of the cluster is reduced, and services can be provided for more computing nodes.
