RESIZING NAMESPACES FOR STORAGE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of a storage device and from a host device, a command to resize a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces stored in a non-volatile memory device of the storage device; and
in response to receiving the command to resize the first namespace;
relocating, by the controller, a physical block address for the non-volatile memory device from an entry in a virtual to physical table identified by a first index value to an entry in the virtual to physical table identified by a second index value; and
in response to relocating the physical block address, updating, by the controller, a mapping, by a namespace table, to indicate an initial index value of a second namespace of the plurality of namespaces.

Abstract
A method may include receiving, by a controller of a storage device and from a host device, a command to resize a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces stored in a non-volatile memory device of the storage device. The method may further include, relocating, by the controller, a physical block address for the non-volatile memory device from an entry in a virtual to physical table identified by a first index value to an entry in the virtual to physical table identified by a second index value, and in response to relocating the physical block address, updating, by the controller, a mapping, by a namespace table, to indicate an initial index value of a second namespace of the plurality of namespaces.

9. A storage device comprising:
-
a storage element; and a controller configured to; receive, from a host device, a command to resize a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces stored in a non-volatile memory device of the storage device; and in response to receiving the command to resize the first namespace; relocate a physical block address for the non-volatile memory device from an entry in a virtual to physical table identified by a first index value to an entry in the virtual to physical table identified by a second index value; and in response to relocating the physical block address, update a mapping, by a namespace table, to indicate an initial index value of a second namespace of the plurality of namespaces. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a storage device to:
-
receive, from a host device, a command to resize a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces stored in a non-volatile memory device of the storage device; and in response to receiving the command to resize the first namespace; relocate a physical block address for the non-volatile memory device from an entry in a virtual to physical table identified by a first index value to an entry in the virtual to physical table identified by a second index value; and in response to relocating the physical block address, update a mapping, by a namespace table, to indicate an initial index value of a second namespace of the plurality of namespaces. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving, from a host device, a command to resize a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces stored in a non-volatile memory device of the storage device; means for relocating a physical block address for the non-volatile memory device from an entry in a virtual to physical table identified by a first index value to an entry in the virtual to physical table identified by a second index value; and means for updating a mapping, by a namespace table, to indicate an initial index value of a second namespace of the plurality of namespaces in response to relocating the physical block address. - View Dependent Claims (20)
