Unretiring memory device blocks

Abstract:

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for managing a memory device. Processing logic may identify a set of retired blocks at the memory device that were retired during use of the memory device. The processing logic may modify a first table entry referencing the first block to indicate that the first block is not retired. The processing logic may also modify a second table entry referencing the second block to indicate that the second block is not retired. The processing logic may also recreate a logical-to-physical table entry for a first page of at the first block, the logical-to-physical table entry associating a logical address with the first page.
