Abstract
A computer-implemented method for indexing content stored in a cache memory device is disclosed. The method starts with maintaining a file index having a plurality of extent entries, each extent entry corresponding to one of a plurality of file extents stored in a cache memory device that caches data stored in a persistent storage device of a storage system. The method continues with maintaining a fingerprint index having a plurality of fingerprint entries, each mapping a fingerprint to a data region of a file indexed in the file index, wherein each fingerprint indexed in the fingerprint index is retrieved from metadata stored in the persistent storage device of the storage system when one or more corresponding data chunks were accessed, and deduplicating and accessing the file extents stored in the cache memory device using the file index and the fingerprint index.
