Abstract
An apparatus for elastic caching of redundant cache data. The apparatus may have a plurality of buffers and a circuit. The circuit may be configured to (i) receive a write request from a host to store write data in a storage volume, (ii) allocate a number of extents in the buffers based upon a redundant organization associated with the write request and (iii) store the write data in the number of extents, where (a) each of the number of extents is located in a different one of the buffers and (b) the number of extents are dynamically linked together in response to the write request.
