Abstract

See full text

A method and system for interfacing a system operating through a logical address space with a direct file storage (DFS) medium is disclosed. The method includes receiving data associated with addresses in a logical block address (LBA) format from a host system and generating file objects manageable by the DFS medium based on a determination of the correlation of the LBA data to host file data. The memory system includes non-volatile memory using the DFS format, an interface for receiving LBA format data, and a controller configured to communicate with the host via an LBA interface and generate file objects from the LBA format data correlated to the host application files usable by the memory system.
