Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying an accessing of a file within an operating system, checking an in-memory cache for path information associated with the file, checking an external cache for the path information associated with the file, conditionally retrieving the path information associated with the file by performing a file system lookup and adding the path information associated with the file to the in-memory cache and the external cache, returning the path information, and reorganizing the external cache to put file information that is frequently accessed together in a single block or adjacent blocks.
