Abstract
A flash translation layer method, system, and computer program product, include sending a request with a type of feature and a flash characteristic of a translation table for a Solid-State disk, receiving, via a meta-flash translation layer (meta-FTL), the request and checking for a number of free blocks in a NAND chip, and instantiating a range in the NAND chip including the number of free blocks using the meta-FTL to create a compatible range of blocks for the type of feature and the flash characteristic of the translation table if the checking returns a confirmation that the number of free blocks is available.
