Abstract
Techniques store data. Such techniques involve: in response to receiving a request for writing data to a file, determining a type of the file; determining a compression property of the data based on the determined type; determining a storage area corresponding to the data to be written in a storage device for storing the file; and storing the data into the storage area, based on the compression property. Such techniques can determine, based on a type of a file involved in an input/output (I/O) request, a compression property of the data for the I/O request, and further determine whether a data compression operation is to be performed prior to storing the data. Accordingly, the techniques can avoid an unnecessary compression operation while reducing the storage space required for storing data as much as possible, thereby improving performance of system.
