data that is sent to the second cache adaptor from
the first cache adaptor, said first cache adaptor
further comprising memory for storing a list
containing at least one record of write data

and in the second cache memory, and where the
record is removed after the write data is stored in
the first cache memory and in the second cache
memory, the first cache adaptor being responsive
to an occurrence of a reset/failure event for reading
