A storage management method and a storage management apparatus are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes: detecting, during a preset length of time, a writing amount per time unit of service data of a target network service in a target storage; retrieving a correspondence relationship between the writing amount per time unit and an amount of a redundant storage, wherein the relationship indicates the amount of the redundant storage increases with the increasing of the writing amount per time unit; determining a first amount of the redundant storage corresponding to the first writing amount per time unit according to the correspondence relationship; and configuring the redundant storage for the target network service in accordance with the first amount of the redundant storage.

A mapping table updating method, a memory control circuit unit and a memory storage device are provided. The mapping table updating method includes: recording first mapping information as a mapping relation between a first virtual block and a first physical erasing unit; recording second mapping information as a mapping relation between the first virtual block and a second virtual block, and the second virtual block is mapped to the first physical erasing unit; and updating the second mapping information as a mapping relation between the first virtual block and a third virtual block if copying data belonging to the first physical erasing unit to a second physical erasing unit, and the third virtual block is mapped to the second physical erasing unit.

A decoding method, a memory controlling circuit unit and a memory storage device are provided. The decoding method includes: performing a first type decoding operation for a first frame including a first codeword to obtain a second codeword. The method also includes: recording error estimate information corresponding to the first frame according to an execution result of the first type decoding operation. The method further includes: updating the first codeword in the first frame to the second codeword if the error estimate information matches a first condition; and performing a second type decoding operation for a block code including the first frame.

According to an embodiment, when a storage status of a first storage unit is recognized as a protected state, a control unit writes data to a second storage unit. When a read target address is recorded in a data migration log area, the control unit reads data from the second storage unit. When the read target address is not recorded in the data migration log area, the control unit reads data from the first storage unit.

The over-provisioning (OP) of a physical storage device (PSD) may be increased, and the useful life of the PSD increased, by converting uncompressed data stored on the PSD to compressed data. It may be determined that increasing the useful life of the PSD, and the data reduction resulting from the compression, outweigh the benefit of faster I/O response times if the data remains uncompressed. A first portion of the PSD may be initially reserved for compression. A second portion of the PSD may store compressed data. It may be determined whether it is desirable to increase the OP of the PSD to thereby reduce the effective write rate on the PSD. If compression is determined to be desirable, the dynamic portion may be compressed, thereby reducing the amount of storage space consumed by the data, and freeing up storage space that can be used by the PSD for OP.

A first node group including at least three nodes is predefined in a distributed storage system. Each node of the first node group is configured to send data blocks stored in storage devices managed by the node to other nodes belonging to the first node group. A first node is configured to receive data blocks from two or more other nodes in the first node group. The first node is configured to create a redundant code using a combination of data blocks received from the two or more other nodes and store the created redundant code to a storage device different from storage devices holding the data blocks used to create the redundant code. Combinations of data blocks used to create at least two redundant codes in redundant codes created by the first node are different in combination of logical addresses of constituent data blocks.

Disclosed embodiments include an electronic device having a write-once memory (WOM) and a memory controller. The memory controller includes a host interface receiving a data word including first and second symbols, each having at least two bits, a WOM controller that encodes the first and second symbols and outputs a WOM-encoded word including first and second WOM codes corresponding to the first and second symbols, respectively, an error correction code (ECC) controller that encodes the WOM-encoded word and outputs an ECC-encoded word including the first and second WOM codes and a first set of ECC bits corresponding to a first write operation, and a memory device interface that writes the ECC-encoded word the WOM device in the first write operation. Each of the first and second WOM codes include at least three bits with at least two of the at least three bits having the same logic value.

According to one embodiment, when receiving a write request to designate a first block number and a first logical address from a host, a memory system determines a first location in a first block having the first block number, to which data from the host is to be written, and writes the data from the host to the first location of the first block. The memory system updates a first address translation table managing mapping between logical addresses and in-block physical addresses of the first block, and maps a first in-block physical address indicative of the first location to the first logical address.

A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising: measuring one of a temperature voltage shift or a read bit error rate of fixed data stored in the memory device in response to detecting a power on of the memory device, the fixed data having been programmed in response to detecting a power loss; estimating an amount of time for which the memory device was powered off based on results of the measuring; and in response to the amount of time satisfying a threshold criterion, updating a value for a temporal voltage shift of a block family based on the amount of time.

A first data item is programmed to a first set of logical units of a memory sub-system. The first set of logical units is associated with a first fault tolerant stripe. A second data item is programmed to a second set of logical units of a memory sub-system. The second set of logical units is associated with a second fault tolerant stripe. A first set of redundancy metadata corresponding to the first data item and a second set of redundancy metadata corresponding to the second data item is generated. A combined set of redundancy metadata is generated based on at least the first set of redundancy metadata and the second set of redundancy metadata. The combined set of redundancy metadata is stored at a specified memory device of the memory sub-system.
