A device, system, and method are disclosed. In one embodiment the device includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) storage array to store a plurality of storage elements. The device also includes a dual-scope directory structure having a background space and a foreground space. The structure is capable of storing several entries that each correspond to a location in the NVM storage array storing a storage element. The background space includes entries for storage elements written into the array without any partial overwrites of a previously stored storage element in the background space. The foreground space includes entries for storage elements written into the array with at least one partial overwrite of one or more previously stored storage elements in the background space.
