Abstract
Techniques for improving storage journaling are disclosed. In some embodiments, the techniques may be realized as a method for improving storage journaling including recording to a journal a count of valid blocks in a first chunk of storage in flash memory, receiving a request to write a second chunk to the flash memory, determining, using a controller, whether the count of valid blocks in the first chunk is less than a specified threshold, and in the event the number of valid blocks in the first chunk is less than the specified threshold, writing the second chunk to a location of the first chunk of storage in the flash memory.
