Abstract
In one aspect, a determination is made as whether partition metadata of a solid state memory has changed, and if so, the partition metadata is analyzed to locate invalid data stored in the solid state memory. This analysis may include determining that a file system type of a partition has changed, and invalidating data in response to the changed file system type. Alternately, or in addition, the analysis may include determining that a partition has changed, and invalidating data in response to the changed partition.
