One or more blocks of the plurality of blocks storing uncorrectable data are identified based on the received failure information. A partial deallocation of the one or more blocks of the plurality of blocks is issued, the partial deallocation indicating that the one or more blocks store uncorrectable data. A remedial action associated with the one or more blocks of the plurality of blocks is performed.
