Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for migration data from a source to a target in the background using an optimal number of threads. In one implementation, a directory entry in a source file system is compared to a size threshold. An optimal number of threads for a migration associated with the directory entry is allocated. The optimal number of threads is determined based on a degree of parallelism available for the migration and the comparison of the directory entry to the size threshold. The directory entry is migrated from the source file system to a target file system using the optimal number of threads.
