Abstract
The management of data storage channel utilization in a computing system that has multiple users. The system receives file-level requests from requesters and then creates a history for each requester. Upon evaluating the history of each requester, the system determines whether to delay the file-level requests from entering the file system stack based on the result of the evaluation. The system delays one or more of the file-level requests if the history of the corresponding requester meets one or more criteria. If the history of the corresponding requester does not meet the criteria, the system allows the file-level requests to be passed to the file system stack without being delayed.
