Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for assigning a plurality of unique sequential identifiers to a plurality of tablets in a cache memory system. One or more metadata deltas associated with a metadata page stored in a storage array may be written to the plurality of tablets in the cache memory system. Each metadata delta stored in at least one tablet of the plurality of tablets may be written to the metadata page stored in the storage array, thus defining one or more destage tablets. A largest unique sequential identifier from the plurality of unique sequential identifiers assigned to the one or more destage tablets, may be written to the storage array, thus defining a current tablet identifier for the metadata page.
