摘要
A method in accordance with the invention includes providing first, second, and third storage tiers, wherein the first storage tier acts as a cache for the second storage tier, and the second storage tier acts as a cache for the third storage tier. The first storage tier uses a first cache line size corresponding to an extent size of the second storage tier. The second storage tier uses a second cache line size corresponding to an extent size of the third storage tier. The second cache line size is significantly larger than the first cache line size. The method further maintains, in the first storage tier, a first cache directory indicating which extents from the second storage tier are cached in the first storage tier, and a second cache directory indicating which extents from the third storage tier are cached in the second storage tier.
