Abstract

A method and apparatus for caching a data block are provided. The method includes: obtaining, from a terminal, an access request for requesting access to a first data block; determining that the first data block is missed in a cache space of a storage system; detect whether a second data block satisfies a lazy condition, the second data block being a candidate elimination block in the cache space and the lazy condition being a condition for determining whether to delay replacing the second data block from the cache space according to a re-access probability; determining that the second data block satisfies the lazy condition; and accessing the first data block from a storage space of the storage system and skipping replacing the second data block from the cache space.
