  2. Scratch space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_space

    Scratch space is space on the hard disk drive that is dedicated for storage of temporary user data, by analogy of "scratch paper." [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is unreliable by intention and has no backup . Scratch disks may occasionally be set to erase all data at regular intervals so that the disk space is left free for future use.

    Support for the always-full device in Linux is documented as early as 2007. [2] Native support was added to FreeBSD in the 11.0 release in 2016, [3] which had previously supported it through an optional module called lindev. [3] [4] The full device appeared in NetBSD 8. [5]

    The message consists only of the status line and optional header fields, and is terminated by an empty line. As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not [ note 1 ] send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions.

  5. Hard disk drive failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_failure

    When a sudden, sharp movement is detected by the built-in accelerometer in the ThinkPad, internal hard disk heads automatically unload themselves to reduce the risk of any potential data loss or scratch defects. Apple later also utilized this technology in their PowerBook, iBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook line, known as the Sudden Motion Sensor.

  6. Medium error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_error

    Medium errors are most commonly detected by checking the read data against a checksum – itself being most commonly also stored on the same device. The mismatch of data to its supposed checksum is assumed to be caused by the data being corrupted .

  7. Scratchpad memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratchpad_memory

    Some architectures such as PowerPC attempt to avoid the need for cacheline locking or scratchpads through the use of cache control instructions.Marking an area of memory with "Data Cache Block: Zero" (allocating a line but setting its contents to zero instead of loading from main memory) and discarding it after use ('Data Cache Block: Invalidate', signaling that main memory didn't receive any ...

  9. Error recovery control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_recovery_control

    Modern hard drives feature an ability to recover from some read/write errors by internally remapping sectors and performing other forms of self-test and recovery. The process for this can sometimes take several seconds or (under heavy usage) minutes, during which time the drive is unresponsive.
