I'm looking for data on short-term file reference patterns, either on a
single machine or (preferably) in a distributed environment.

Some background: I'm interested migration strategies for a replicated,
distributed file system on a local area network. Existing migration work that
I have seen uses long-term (days) file reference patterns for a single site
to decide when to archive.  When you start moving files around on machines on
a LAN, however, shorter term (minutes or hours) information becomes useful.

I intend to eventually collect some data myself, but any study that I do will
undoubtedly benefit from a varied collection of data.

Any pointers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
