Abstract

A data storage subsystem is disclosed that implements a process for storing and/or reconstructing system data, such as a system mapping table. In certain embodiments, table pages are systematically copied, or flushed, to non-volatile memory in a progressive manner, according to a fixed ratio of flushed table pages per table update trigger, thereby facilitating write and/or load efficiency. Full or partial reconstruction of a table may be performed within a bounded number of operations based on the size of the table, the ratio implemented, and/or other characteristics.
