Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for boot operations and logical block addresses are described. A memory system may identify logical block addresses (LBAs) that are more frequently accessed during the boot phase relative to other LBAs. Such LBAs may be referred to herein as boot LBAs. For example, the memory system may maintain a counter for each LBA read during the boot phase, which may enable the memory system to track and record the frequency of each LBA accessed during the boot phase. Using the information gathered about the boot LBAs (e.g., the quantity of accesses of each boot LBA), the memory system may perform a defragmentation process, which may be triggered by a host system, to consolidate the boot LBAs within a threshold quantity of memory blocks. In some examples, defragmentation of the boot LBAs may also be based on a sequence of the boot LBAs.
