Abstract
Managing metadata added to a file, a directory, or a symbolic link is provided. One or more pieces of metadata of a movement target are obtained. The movement target is at least one of a file, a directory, and a symbolic link. The movement target is to be moved from one file system to another file system within a plurality of file systems. Whether the one or more pieces of metadata are migratable to the other file system is determined based, at least in part, on metadata stored in the other file system. The one or more pieces of metadata are processed by (i) migrating a first piece of metadata that is determined to be migratable to the other file system and (ii) leaving a second piece of metadata in the one file system, wherein the second piece of metadata is determined to be non-migratable.
