Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for managing memory blocks in a non-volatile memory system comprising individually erasable memory blocks which can be addressed with the aid of real memory block numbers (RBN) and can be addressed by converting the address from a logical block number (LBN) into one of the real memory block numbers, respectively, with the aid of allocator tables (LTP, PTR). The logical block number (LBN) is allocated to a physical memory block number (PBN) via a first table (LTP) while the physical memory block number (PBN) is allocated to a real memory block number (RBN) via a second table (PTR), one or several real memory blocks being addressed with the aid of one physical memory block number (PBN).
