After the first indication is stored, a command for accessing the address may be processed. Based on processing the command, a second indication of whether the address is valid may be obtained, and a determination of whether to perform or prevent a repair operation for repairing the address may be made based on the first indication and the second indication. A third indication of whether the repair operation was performed or prevented may be stored.
