Abstract
System and techniques for rebuilding a redundant secondary storage cache including a first storage device and a second storage device are described. A metadata entry indicative of a validity of a portion of information stored by a first storage cache device and associated with a region of a primary storage device is received. When the validity of the portion of information associated with the region of the primary storage device is established, a region lock is requested on the region of the primary storage device associated with the portion of information stored by the first storage cache device. Then, the portion of information and the corresponding metadata entry associated with the region of the primary storage device is copied from the first cache storage device to a second storage cache device to rebuild the second storage cache device.
