Abstract
The technology disclosed herein provides a method of verifying data read from a data block when the cell number of the data block does not match an ECC value stored in the data block. In particular, the method includes designating as unusable a data block in an indexed sequence of data blocks, wherein each data block is associated with a physical index; associating a cell number with a subsequent usable data block following the identified data block in the indexed sequence; and recording in an offset table accessible by an error detection and correction module an offset in association with the cell number of the subsequent usable data block, wherein the combination of the offset and the cell number represents a seed for the error detection and correction module.
