1. A system comprising:
a storage system comprising a group of non-volatile memory cells and control circuitry coupled to the group of non-volatile memory cells, the control circuitry configured to:
provide, to a host device over a communication interface, a descriptor of the storage system comprising an indication of an operation mode of a component of the storage system, the operation mode selected from one of a plurality of available operation modes, comprising:
a normal-operation mode indicative that the host device boot in a normal boot mode and that the number of replacement blocks does not exceed a warning threshold; and
a restricted-operation mode indicative that the storage system is in a restricted-operation mode and that the host device boot in a modified boot mode to prevent host device boot failure.
