Abstract
A method and system is disclosed that remaps logical block addresses (LBAs) for defragmentation that is managed at the storage device level. The remapping may include sequentially remapping LBAs where individual files are remapped so that each file is referenced by sequential LBAs. The remapping of LBAs may be performed without changes to the physical location of data.
