摘要
A method and apparatus configured to restore a flash translation layer (“FTL”) in a non-volatile (“NV”) storage device are disclosed. After reactivating the NV storage device from an unintended system crash, a process of recovering FTL, in one embodiment, receives a request for restoring at least a portion of the FTL or FTL database. After identifying sequence numbers (“SNs”) associated with flash memory blocks (“FMBs”) which are generated during write cycle(s), the SNs are retrieved from the information storage locations such as state information in the FMBs. A portion of the FTL database is subsequently reconstructed in a random access memory (“RAM”) according to the SNs. In an alternative embodiment, logical block addresses (“LBAs”), LBA lists, and/or index tables can also be used to restore the FTL database or table.
