Abstract
In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for adjusting a mapping between a logical block address (LBA) space and a physical block address (PBA) space based on offset data associated with a plurality of access requests. According to one aspect, a method includes defining a translation map between a plurality of LBAs and a plurality of PBAs for a data storage device. Each PBA is associated with a sequence of storage slots. The translation map maps each of the LBAs to a PBA and to an index of a storage slot associated with the PBA. The method further includes obtaining offset data for a plurality of access requests associated with the plurality of LBAs. The offset data includes information relating to the indices to which starting LBAs of the access requests are mapped. The method further includes adjusting the translation map based on the offset data.
