Abstract
A method is described that includes determining, by a memory subsystem, that a garbage collection process is to be performed on a memory device and selecting a first candidate block stripe for folding into a first target block stripe in response to determining that the garbage collection process is to be performed. The method further includes determining, by the memory subsystem, that a physical-to-logical table stored in the first candidate block stripe is unavailable; reducing a write command rate, which controls a rate at which writes are fulfilled by the memory subsystem, in response to determining that the physical-to-logical table stored in the first candidate block stripe is unavailable; and performing folding of the first candidate block stripe into the first target block stripe using a logical-to-physical table.
