Abstract
The subject matter described herein includes processing file system metadata in host write requests to determine information about future host write operations. The information regarding future host write operations can be used by a device controller to prepare the non-volatile memory for the future host write operations. For example, the device controller may prepare the non-volatile storage device for future sequential host write access patterns or random host write access patterns depending on the content of the file system metadata. The file system metadata may also be usable to determine when it is optimal to perform memory management operations.
