摘要

The present invention discloses a method and device for responding to a request, and a distributed file system, the method comprising: receiving from a file access client terminal a request of an operation target file; the full path of the target file being carried in the request; determining the file identifier and file location register identifier corresponding to the full path; the file location register which corresponds to the file location register identifier being used for providing location information of a data block of the target file; sending the file identifier and the file location register identifier to the file access client. The present invention solves the problem of a distributed file system making high requirements on file location register hardware, reduces the requirements on file location register hardware, and improves system stability.
