Abstract
Techniques are provided for user-based data tiering. In an example, a computer maintains a first-in-first-out queue that logs a finite set of users that have most-recently modified a file. This queue can be maintained in an extended attribute of an inode that corresponds to a file. A computer can also maintain a policy that defines how to perform storage tiering on a file based on which users have accessed the file. When a tiering operation is performed, the files specified by a corresponding tiering policy can be evaluated for which users have recently accessed them. When a user specified by the tiering policy has recently modified a file, the file can be placed in tiering queue for tiering.
