Abstract
A method of using boot-time metadata in a storage system is provided. The method includes writing a fragmentation stride to a solid-state storage device of the storage system, the fragmentation stride defining a granularity on which fragmentation of erase blocks of the solid-state storage device occurs. The method includes allocating portions of erase blocks for at least one process in the storage system, in accordance with the fragmentation stride and writing boot up metadata at offsets that are based on the fragmentation stride, in the solid-state storage device.
