Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to truncate data files in nonvolatile memory

Directory virtualization may be achieved in semiconductor memories, such as flash memories, by providing a system in which files and directories are interchangeable. A directory may be stored at a virtual address which points to various files. From the user perspective, a tree hierarchy may be achieved. From a hardware standpoint, a series of entries in a table may be linked together by various pointers.
