The present disclosure provides a
processing method and device of an index node, equipment and a storage medium, the method comprising: in response to a preset
hard link creation request for a first file, creating a
hard link for the first file, and obtaining index node identification information of the first file from a
metadata information table of the first file, migrating an index node corresponding to the index node identification information in the
metadata information table of the first file to a reverse
lookup table, wherein the index node in the reverse
lookup table is used to respond to a file access request for the first file. It can be seen that, by migrating the index node corresponding to the index node identification information in the
metadata information table of the first file to the reverse
lookup table, when a file access request for the first file is received, the index node obtained from the reverse lookup table can be directly accessed, so that the storage location information of the first file carried by the index node is used to access the first file, thereby improving the file access efficiency.
