Abstract: In a storage medium management method, a controller receives an address space request that requests the provision of an address space in a target storage medium for an operating system, the target storage medium having two different types of storage media. The Controller determines a first address space in the target storage medium based on the address space request, and a physical address of the first address space to a target virtual address, which is managed by the operating system. The controller then provides to an operating system a first address space requested by the address space request, such that the first address space is directly managed by an operating system, without manual configuration or restart of an electronic device.
