US Patent 11640242 Namespace management in non-volatile memory devices
A computer storage device having: a host interface; a controller; non-volatile storage media; and firmware. The firmware instructs the controller to: divide a contiguous logical address capacity into blocks according to a predetermined block size; and maintain a data structure to identify free blocks are available for allocation to new namespaces and blocks that have been allocated to namespaces in use. Based on the content of the data structure, non-contiguous blocks can be allocated to a namespace; and logical addresses in the namespace can be translated to physical addresses for addressing the non-volatile storage media of the storage device.
