Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device and computer readable medium for accessing a file. The method described herein comprises: receiving, in a virtual file system on a client, a request for opening a file in the virtual file system from an application, the request comprising a path for the file; determining whether the file has been opened successfully at the client; in response to determining that the file fails to be opened at the client, searching a first cache of the virtual file system for the path, the first cache being configured to store paths for files that fail to be opened at the client; and in response to success in finding the path in the first cache, returning an indication of failure in opening the file to the application.
