Flash file systems

Computer file

In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Flash file system and computer file are computer file systems.

See Flash file system and Computer file

In Unix-like operating systems, a device file, device node, or special file is an interface to a device driver that appears in a file system as if it were an ordinary file. Flash file system and device file are computer file systems.

See Flash file system and Device file

Error detection and correction

In information theory and coding theory with applications in computer science and telecommunication, error detection and correction (EDAC) or error control are techniques that enable reliable delivery of digital data over unreliable communication channels.

See Flash file system and Error detection and correction

F2FS

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel.

See Flash file system and F2FS

File system

In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access. Flash file system and file system are computer file systems.

See Flash file system and File system

Flash memory

Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. Flash file system and Flash memory are computer memory.

See Flash file system and Flash memory

Flash memory controller

A flash memory controller (or flash controller) manages data stored on flash memory (usually NAND flash) and communicates with a computer or electronic device. Flash file system and flash memory controller are computer memory.

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is a free and open source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide.

See Flash file system and Linux kernel

Log-structured file system

A log-structured filesystem is a file system in which data and metadata are written sequentially to a circular buffer, called a log. Flash file system and log-structured file system are computer file systems.

See Flash file system and Log-structured file system

LogFS

LogFS is a Linux log-structured and scalable flash file system, intended for use on large devices of flash memory. Flash file system and LogFS are flash file systems.

PCMCIA

The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) was an industry consortium of computer hardware manufacturers from 1989 to 2009.

See Flash file system and PCMCIA

Random access

Random access (more precisely and more generally called direct access) is the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence in equal time or any datum from a population of addressable elements roughly as easily and efficiently as any other, no matter how many elements may be in the set. Flash file system and Random access are computer memory.
