Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for storage address translation. The method includes storing, in volatile memory, a plurality of logical-to-physical mapping entries for a non-volatile recording device. The method includes persisting a logical-to-physical mapping entry from the volatile memory to recording media of the non-volatile recording device. The logical-to-physical mapping entry may be selected for persisting based on a mapping policy indicated by a client. The method includes loading the logical-to-physical mapping entry from the recording media of the non-volatile recording device into the volatile memory in response to a storage request associated with the logical-to-physical mapping entry.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for storage address translation, the method comprising: storing, in volatile memory, a plurality of logical-to-physical mapping entries for a non-volatile storage device; copying one of the logical-to-physical mapping entries from the volatile memory to storage media of the non-volatile storage device, the logical-to-physical mapping entry selected for copying based on a mapping policy indicated by a client, the mapping policy based, at least in p…
