  3. Folder redirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folder_redirection

    Folder Redirection allows saving data regardless of storage location and separates user data from profile data decreasing the time required to log on. Other advantages include: [2] Data is stored on a server where it can be backed up; If the same redirection is applied to multiple users, all data is stored in the one location

  4. Log-structured file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.The design was first proposed in 1988 by John K. Ousterhout and Fred Douglis and first implemented in 1992 by Ousterhout and Mendel Rosenblum for the Unix-like Sprite distributed operating system.

    in place of the hostname. The string "localhost" will attempt to access the file as UNC path \\localhost\c:\path\to\the file.txt, which will not work since the colon is not allowed in a share name. The dot "." results in the string being passed as \\.\c:\path\to\the file.txt, which will work for local files, but not shares

    Common Log File System (CLFS) is a general-purpose logging subsystem that is accessible to both kernel-mode as well as user-mode applications for building high-performance transaction logs. It was introduced with Windows Server 2003 R2 and included in later Windows operating systems.

    Typically, the syntax of these characters is as follows, using < to redirect input, and > to redirect output. command > file1 executes command, placing the output in file1, as opposed to displaying it at the terminal, which is the usual destination for standard output.

  9. Hierarchical file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_file_system

    The hierarchical file system was used instead of simply expanding the flat directory for performance reasons. "A flat DOS file structure with a single directory and 10 times as many files would logically require 10 times as long to search." [2] OS/2 and Windows also support a hierarchical file system, using the same path syntax as DOS.
