Abstract

See full text

The disclosure relates to optimizing a mount process at a data storage device. The storage device communicates with a host using a mount process and mounts a master table, the master table caching translation table pointers associated with a boot partition. The storage device then sends a ready signal to the host indicating that the storage device is ready to receive a boot partition read command from the host. The storage device suspends the mount process for a window of time to receive the boot partition read command and executes the boot partition read command if the boot partition read command is received during the window of time. Accordingly, by caching boot partition pointers in the master table, the mount time of the boot partition is shortened to allow the storage device to send the ready signal earlier and provide the host with earlier access to the boot partition.
