A method of managing data in a cache memory storage subsystem upon a cache write operation includes determining a first number of non-contiguously written sectors on a track in the cache and comparing the first number with a second, threshold number. If the first number exceeds the second number, a full background stage operation is issued to fill the non-contiguously written sectors with unmodified data from a storage medium. A corresponding system includes a cache manager module operating on the storage subsystem. Upon a determination that a cache write operation on a track has taken place, the cache manager module determines a first number of non-contiguously written sectors on the track, compares the first number with a second, predetermined threshold number, and issues a background stage operation to fill the non-contiguously written sectors with unmodified data from a storage medium if the first number exceeds the second number. |
