Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for tracking file system (FS) utilization by a plurality of applications. According to some embodiments, a technique can be implemented by a computing device on which the FS is implemented, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from an application among the plurality of applications, a request to perform an input/output (I/O) operation pertaining to a first FS object, where the request includes a unique identifier (ID) associated with the application, (2) creating or locating, within the FS, the first FS object, (3) performing the I/O operation against the first FS object, (4) creating or locating, within the FS, a second FS object associated with the unique ID, and (5) updating the second FS object to reflect the I/O operation. Other techniques include observing, analyzing, etc., FS utilization by the plurality of applications.
