Abstract
An example memory sub-system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device is configured to initiate a scan process on a plurality of block families of the memory device; responsive to determining, based on the scan process, that a first block family of the plurality of block families and a second block family of the plurality of block families meet a combining criterion, merge the first block family and the second block family; and responsive to determining that a terminating condition has been satisfied, terminate the scan process.
