    Abstract: A method for recovering meta-data that has been subjected to corruption is disclosed for a cache memory. Each table entry in the cache memory has an in-cache indicator for indicating whether the data unit associated therewith is stored in a cache-slot in the cache memory. A first review is conducted of the table entries for identifying in-cache table entries (those that are associated with cache-slots in the cache memory), performing a correction attempt to ensure that the meta-data in an in-cache table entry are validated and corrected, if necessary, and ensuring that the in-cache indicator is set for an in-cache table entry. A second review is conducted of the table entries to ensure that the in-cache indicator is not set for any table entry that is not an in-cache table entry or for any in-cache table entry for which the correction attempt was unsuccessful.

    Abstract: A method for managing data in a computer system comprises identifying a data-set that has data unit protection that is suspected of having been corrupted, suspending a data unit protection process for the data-set; deferring re-establishing the data unit protection process for the data-set until issuance of a request for an I/O operation for the data unit; and re-establishing the data unit protection process for the data-set in response to the request and before the I/O operation is conducted. The data has a data unit protection invalidity indicator for indicating that the data-set has data unit protection that is suspected of having been corrupted; and the data unit protection process is suspended in the presence of the data-set protection invalidity indicator. Meta-data protection that is suspected of having been corrupted may be used to identify a corrupted data-set.
