Abstract
Metadata area legends are stored at a first location, such as a dedicated partition of a persistent data storage device (PDSD). The metadata area legends have a number of descriptors that describe a number of reserved metadata areas that lie at a second location that is logically separate from the first location, such as a regular partition of the PDSD. Requests to delete the metadata area legends, as well as requests to add new metadata area legends, can be verified to prevent the metadata area legends from being accidentally or maliciously changed.
