Flash memory driver
First Claim
1. An article comprising a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to receive a write transaction request to write data to a flash memory, assign a sequence number to said write transaction request, and write said data and said sequence number to a set of multiple discontiguous logical sectors corresponding to a set of physical sectors in a spare area of said flash memory in a single atomic operation without allowing for partial writing of said data.

Abstract
Various flash management techniques may be described. An apparatus may comprise a processor, a flash memory coupled to the processor, and a flash management module. The flash management module may be executed by the processor to receive a write transaction request to write data to a flash memory, and write the data to a set of multiple discontiguous logical sectors corresponding to a set of physical sectors of the flash memory in a single atomic operation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a write transaction request to write data to a flash memory; assigning a sequence number to said write transaction request; and writing said data and said sequence number to a set of multiple discontiguous logical sectors corresponding to a set of physical sectors of said flash memory in a single atomic operation, wherein said atomic operation either completely writes said data or writes no data and does not allow for partial writing of said data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; a flash memory coupled to said processor; and a flash management module that when executed by said processor is arranged to receive a write transaction request to write data to a flash memory, assign a sequence number to said write transaction request, and write said data and said sequence number to a set of multiple discontiguous logical sectors corresponding to a set of physical sectors of said flash memory in a single atomic operation without allowing for partial writing of said data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
