A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes determining patterns of an application that utilizes a filesystem and/or properties of queries of the application. Data of the filesystem is stored across a plurality of replication sites of a data storage system. Based on the determined patterns of the application and/or the determined proper-ties of the queries of the application, a utility of storing at least some of the data of the filesystem in different variations at more than one of the replication sites is estimated. The estimated utility is compared against a predetermined utility threshold, and in response to a determination that the estimated utility is greater than the predetermined utility threshold, a write system call offered by the filesystem is modified to store the data in different variations at more than one of the replication sites.
