Abstract
Maintaining data associate with a storage device is described. A method may include receiving, by an application executed by a storage array controller of a host server of a solid-state storage array comprising a plurality of solid-state storage devices, an indication of a change in state of a solid-state storage device of the plurality of solid-state storage devices. In response to receiving the indication, the method may also include retrieving a plurality of tables stored at a volatile memory of the solid-state storage device, the plurality of tables comprising information associated with characteristics of a plurality of data blocks of the solid-state storage device. The method may also include identifying one or more rules associated with the plurality of tables and creating, by the storage array controller, a new plurality of tables based on the one or more rules.
