Abstract
Techniques for codeword decoding are described. In an example, a system accesses information about a block of a storage device of the system. The block includes data lines and redundant lines. The data lines are available to store data and include a bad data line that is unreliable for data storage. The redundant lines include a redundant line that replaces the bad data line, and a free redundant line that remains available after replacement of all bad data lines from the data lines. The information includes an identifier of the bad data line and an identifier of the free redundant line. The system accesses a codeword stored in the block. A portion of the codeword is stored in the free redundant line. The system decodes the codeword based on the identifier of the bad data line and the identifier of the free redundant line.
