The invention relates to the technical field of communication, and discloses a
processing method for an SMB (
Server Message Block) protocol request. The
processing method for an SMB protocol request includes the steps: when receiving an SMB protocol request sent by a
client, creating a child thread by using a samba host process; and initializing
resource information of the child thread, and enabling the initialized child thread to
mount the storage service through a
mount point corresponding to the samba host process. The
processing method for an SMB protocol request only needs one process toimplement processing of the SMB protocol request, thus effectively reducing
resource consumption of a
server system, utilizing the
system resources more reasonably, that is, the same configuration canprovide the storage access service for more clients. Besides, the processing method for an SMB protocol request only needs one
mount point, that is, only needs to mount the storage service once, thusreducing the process of frequently setting up and uninstalling the mount point in the prior art, and further reducing the waste of
system resources. The invention also discloses a processing device for an SMB protocol request, a
server and a computer readable storage medium, having the above advantages.
