Hey Scott, What I can recall and and IMHO, here online means thats the relocation of files from tier to the tier should not affect the throughput of the system and and should not be done after making the filesystem offline for use. Also, Hierarchical here means the different storage classes based on the quality and cost of the storage. Something when you have a LVM on top of a collection of different storage class storage. Rohit, can you just confirm, if thats true. Btw, Rohit can you brief on what exactly are your intentions.
