One embodiment facilitates flash storage management. During operation, the system receives a request to write data to a non-volatile memory. The system writes, in a buffer in association with a controller, the data to a next available portion of a current physical page in a page stripe, wherein the page stripe includes physical pages which each correspond to a sequentially ordered die of the non-volatile memory. The system provides power-loss protection to the current physical page and a second physical page which indicates parity information for the page stripe, thereby providing power-loss protection to an increased number of partially full page stripes.

In a parity-based redundancy scheme, a log is maintained that contains a record of storage writes and associated redundancy backups. A mapping of allocation information indicative of free and allocated portions of storage is stored. An indication is received of a change to the free and allocated portions of storage. An update to the mapping of allocation information is determined, and the update to the mapping of allocation information is stored. The stored update is accessed and the redundancy backup is synchronized with stored data in response to a power interruption.

A memory device includes a wordline zone table that stores information about how wordlines of one or more memory blocks are divided into wordline zones. The wordline zone table also stores a value associated with each wordline zone. When the memory device receives a command, a controller identifies a wordline associated with the command. The controller uses the wordline zone table to determine the wordline zone, and the value, associated with the wordline. The value is stored in a non-data wordline. When a find last good page (FLGP) process is initiated in response to an ungraceful device shutdown (UGDS) event, the controller determines the value stored in the non-data wordline. The controller compares the value in the non-data wordline to the values in the wordline zone table to determine which wordline zone matches the value. The FLPG process is applied to the wordline zone having the matching value.
