ATAPI ( ATA Packet Interface) is a protocol used with the Parallel ATA (IDE) and Serial ATA standards so that a greater variety of devices can be connected to a computer than with the ATA command set alone.
The Installable File System ( IFS) is a filesystem API in MS-DOS / PC DOS 4.x, IBM OS/2 and Microsoft Windows that enables the operating system to recognize and load drivers for file systems .
In MS-DOS 5.0 (1991) and later, HIMEM.SYS can be used to load the DOS kernel code into the High Memory Area (HMA) to increase the amount of available conventional memory by specifying DOS =HIGH in CONFIG.SYS .
USB Attached SCSI ( UAS) or USB Attached SCSI Protocol ( UASP) is a computer protocol used to move data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and thumb drives. UAS depends on the USB protocol, and uses the standard SCSI command set. Use of UAS generally provides faster transfers compared to the ...
Some common deviations include: Modern Linux distributions include a /sys directory as a virtual filesystem ( sysfs, comparable to /proc, which is a procfs ), which stores and allows modification of the devices connected to the system, [20] whereas many traditional Unix-like operating systems use /sys as a symbolic link to the kernel source tree.
A kernel oops often leads to a kernel panic when the system attempts to use resources that have been lost. Some kernels are configured to panic when many oopses (10,000 by default) have occurred.
Windows Installer ( msiexec.exe, previously known as Microsoft Installer, [3] codename Darwin) [4] [5] is a software component and application programming interface (API) of Microsoft Windows used for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software. The installation information, and optionally the files themselves, are packaged in ...
SAT-2 was finalized in 2009. Significant additions in SAT-2 are ATAPI translations, NCQ control, persistent reservations, non-volatile cache translation, and ATA security mode translations. [3] The standard also defines a new data structure returned in the sense data known as the ATA Return Descriptor that contains the ATA taskfile registers.
