Abstract
A method is described for logically isolating a cache memory bank from the other cache memory banks, as well as from the associated disk drive system and the computer system, while allowing effective use of the remaining cache banks. Linked lists of pointers to free space in a given cache bank are located entirely within the bank; therefore, failure of, or removal of, a cache bank does not prevent the computer and disk drive system from utilizing the free space in the remaining banks. The implementation of the method is such that initialization of all cache memory banks may also be efficiently performed.
