A computer-implemented method for managing tracks in a cache is provided. The computer-implemented method includes instantiating cache control blocks to each manage operations for one of the tracks and instantiating a bitmap corresponding to each of the cache control blocks. Each bitmap includes an active bit indicating whether the one of the tracks for which the corresponding cache control block manages operations is active and additional bits indicating additional characteristics of the one of the tracks for which the corresponding cache control block manages operations.
