System for generating virtual block stripes in a memory device

A system for performing a media scan operation in a memory device, comprising:

• the memory device;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• determining a total quantity of operational data blocks in the memory device relative to a quantity of non-operational data blocks in the memory device to determine minimum quantity of data blocks in a virtual block stripe to be generated in the memory device;
• determining that a first bank of data blocks in the memory device has a first quantity of operational data blocks that is greater than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated;
• determining that a second bank of data blocks in the memory device has a second quantity of operational data blocks that is less than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated;
• logically mapping one or more data blocks of the first bank to the second bank;
• and
• generating the virtual block stripe comprising the second quantity of operational data blocks of the second bank and the logically mapped one or more data blocks of the first bank.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform a method for generating a virtual block stripe of a memory device, the method comprising:

• determining a total quantity of operational data blocks in the memory device relative to a quantity of non-operational data blocks in the memory device to determine a minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated in the memory device;
• determining that a first bank in the memory device has a first quantity of operational data blocks that is greater than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated;
• determining that a second bank in the memory device has a second quantity of operational data blocks that is less than the minimum quantity of data blocks in the virtual block stripe to be generated;
• logically mapping one or more data blocks of the first bank to the second bank;
• and
• generating the virtual block stripe comprising the second quantity of operational data blocks of the second bank and the logically mapped one or more data blocks of the first bank.
