Abstract
Storage locations in a first tier of a multi-tier storage system are allocated to a first set of data structures (e.g., inodes) in a first file set. A file that is stored in the first tier is associated with a first data structure of the first set. In response to determining that data in the file should be moved to a second tier of the multi-tier storage system, the file is associated with a second data structure in a second file set. The second data structure is allocated a storage location in the second tier. Consequently, two data structures are associated with the file. The data is copied from the first tier to the storage location in the second tier, and can be subsequently accessed using the second data structure.
