Abstract

According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for file handling in a hierarchical storage environment includes performing a file access notification process for determining files related to the first file based on enhanced metadata and a priority list defining a likelihood of possible access, in response to receiving a file access notification corresponding to access of a first file. The related files are placed in a highest level storage tier, and the priority list is updated.
