Abstract

Memory modules and methods of operating memory modules re-build mapping information from data read from last valid physical pages. Corruption of mapping information is detected. A last valid physical page associated with logical data blocks is read. Mapping information is obtained from the data read from the last valid physical page, and mapping information is re-built using the mapping information obtained from the last valid pages.
