Full Desc
As used herein, "metadata" refers to data that describes, represents or is associated with other data. Examples of metadata includes, but is not limited to, error correction code data, parity data, parity bits, redundancy data, parameter settings, and the like.
In one embodiment, metadata refers to system data usable to facilitate operation of non-volatile storage device. Metadata stands in contrast to, for example, data produced by an application (i.e., application data) or forms of data that would be considered by an operating system as user data. For example, a zone or a logical erase block may include metadata specifying, without limitation, usage statistics (e.g., the number of program erase cycles performed on that zone or logical erase block, health statistics (e.g., a value indicative of how often corrupted data has been read from that zone or logical erase block), security or access control parameters, sequence information (e.g., a sequence indicator), a persistent metadata flag (e.g., indicating inclusion in an atomic storage operation), a transaction identifier, or the like.
