Content
The log format described herein may allow valid data to be distinguished from invalid data based upon the contents of the non-volatile memory media, and independently of other metadata. As discussed above, invalid data may not be removed from the non-volatile memory media until the memory division comprising the data is reclaimed. Therefore, multiple “versions” of data having the same context may exist on the non-volatile memory media (e.g., multiple versions of data having the same logical addresses). The sequence indicators associated with the data may be used to distinguish invalid versions of data from the current, up-to-date version of the data; the data that is the most recent in the log is the current version, and previous versions may be identified as invalid.
