Abstract:
The invention introduces a method for performing operations to namespaces of a flash memory device, at least including the steps: receiving a namespace setting-update command from a host, requesting to update a namespace size of a namespace; determining whether the updated namespace size of the namespace can be supported; and when the updated namespace size of the namespace can be supported, updating a logical-physical mapping table of the namespace to enable the namespace to store user data of the updated namespace size.
