Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to a cluster namespace for a memory device. In some implementations, a memory device may receive a cluster namespace instruction, from a host device, that instructs the memory device to create a cluster namespace using memory resources of the memory device that are spread across a plurality of namespaces of the memory device. The memory device may identify namespace storage information that indicates memory resources associated with a plurality of namespaces of the memory device. The memory device may create the cluster namespace based on creating a plurality of extents that respectively map sets of logical block address ranges from the plurality of namespaces to the cluster namespace.
