Abstract

See full text

A method for re-allocating memory partition space is provided. The method comprises determining when a first memory partition is full or has reached a threshold value, determining that a second memory partition has unused storage space that can be allocated to the first memory partition, and assigning the unused storage space from the second memory partition to the first memory partition. A memory controller embedded within the mass storage device and having an interface to an external host assigns the unused storage space from the second memory partition to the first memory partition.
