stands for Read Only File System and is used for accessing code on media that
cannot be executed on that media (otherwise known as non-execute in place
storage) e.g. NAND flash. </p> <p>It is also used by the composite file system
for presenting a single drive Z: to the file server regardless of the underlining
NAND flash technology being employed. </p> </section>
