Cloud Storage Gateway:What are the cache replacement policies of file gateways?

This topic describes the cache replacement policies of file gateways.

A file gateway determines whether to replace the cached data depending on the cache usage, as described in the following rules.

• When the cache usage is lower than 60%, no cache replacement policy is triggered.
• When the cache usage is between 60% and 80%, cache replacement policies are triggered. Cached data will be replaced until the cache usage drops below 60%.
• When the cache usage exceeds 80%, the file gateway quickly replaces cached data, and restricts the amount of data written from the frontend to reserve cache capacity.
