Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for storage address translation. The method includes storing, in volatile memory, a plurality of logical-to-physical mapping entries for a non-volatile recording device. The method includes persisting a logical-to-physical mapping entry from the volatile memory to recording media of the non-volatile recording device. The logical-to-physical mapping entry may be selected for persisting based on a mapping policy indicated by a client. The method includes loading the logical-to-physical mapping entry from the recording media of the non-volatile recording device into the volatile memory in response to a storage request associated with the logical-to-physical mapping entry.
