ABSTRACT:
An outboard file cache system including file surge protection and an improved method for managing allocation of cache storage are disclosed. In an outboard cache, excessive writes to a file are detected by testing whether a segment belonging to a file specified by a nd, which logically precedes one of the segments specified in the command by a predetermined number of segments, is present in the outboard file cache, has been written, and has not been destaged. When a first surge-threshold is reached, a group of segments is selected and destaged. When a second surge-threshold is reached, the outboard cache inhibits allocation of further cache storage for the file for the purpose of writing until a selected group of segments is destaged.
