Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a memory component; and
a processing device, coupled to the memory component, configured to, for a physical memory device comprising a plurality of blocks of a plurality of different block types, each block including a plurality of pages of memory:
for a block of the plurality of blocks, identify a subset of the plurality of pages of the block, wherein the subset of the plurality of pages includes a number of pages less than a total number of pages of the block;
scan the block by only scanning the subset of the plurality of pages of the block for a fold condition;
determine that a page of the subset of the plurality of pages has the fold condition;
after the plurality of blocks has been scanned, request folding of the block in response to determining the page has the fold condition; and
in response to scanning the plurality of blocks for the fold condition by only scanning a subset of the plurality of pages in each block, enabling a full scan that scans each page of each block of the plurality of blocks.
