Flash-EEPROM in a Router – a true MTD. A Memory Technology Device (MTD) is a type of device file in Linux for interacting with flash memory. The MTD subsystem was created to provide an abstraction layer between the hardware-specific device drivers and higher-level applications. Although character and block device files already existed, their ...

A loadable kernel module (LKM) is an executable library that extends the capabilities of a running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system.LKMs are typically used to add support for new hardware (as device drivers) and/or filesystems, or for adding system calls.
Accesses the file system on the boot drive (either FAT or New Technology File System, NTFS). If Windows was put in the hibernation state, the contents of hiberfil.sys are loaded into memory and the system resumes where it left off.

[citation needed] The original name was "Mirror Disk", but was changed as more functions were added. [citation needed] The name is now understood to be short for Multiple Disk and Device Management.

Files like the driver for the CD-ROM support were deleted from the Windows Me bootdisk and the startup files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS) no longer had content. This modified disk was the base for creating the MS-DOS image for Windows XP. Some of the deleted files can be recovered with an undelete tool. [87]
A file name is unique so that an application can refer to exactly one file for a particular name. If the file system supports directories, then generally file name uniqueness is enforced within the context of each directory. In other words, a storage can contain multiple files with the same name, but not in the same directory. Most file systems ...
