Abstract
Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer readable medium for scanning a storage medium table. The method includes retrieving location information associated with at least one other storage medium table scan. A storage medium table scan is started at a location within a storage medium table based on at least a location of the one other storage medium table scan. A weight is assigned to at least one storage medium block based on at least a current scanning location within the storage medium table relative to the location of the one other table scan. The method determines if a distance between the current scanning location and the location of the one other table scan is greater than a first given threshold. A current scanning operation is delayed, in response to the distance being greater than the given threshold, until the distance is below a second given threshold.
