Methods and apparatus for passing information to a host system to suggest logical locations to allocate to a file are disclosed. Generally, when a host system determines a need to allocate a logical location to a file, the host system sends a non-data command to a memory system. In response, the memory system sends information to the host system that includes one or more logical locations to allocate to the file. By suggesting one or more logical locations to allocate to a file, the memory system may reduce a number of data consolidation or garbage collection operations that will need to be performed in the future, thereby improving performance of the memory system. |
