A deterministic flushing of one or more storage data objects buffered within a storage data buffer to a storage medium involves a processing of a host data object including writing a storage data object corresponding to the host data object to the storage data buffer, and a flushing of the storage data object(s) buffered within the storage data buffer to the storage medium prior to or subsequent to (i.e., relative to) the writing of the storage data object corresponding to the host data object to the storage data buffer as a function of an occurrence determination of a storage data buffer flushing event. The deterministic flushing further involves a queuing of a host data buffer meta-data update request for later processing.

A method for creating a duplicate copy of a tape in which a first tape having a first data set name and a second tape having a second data set name are allocated. Data is written to the first and second tapes so that block for block, the data is located at the same position on each of the tapes. After data is written to one of the tapes, a check is made to verify that the data was written correctly. If an error is detected in writing the second tape, an error flag is set that indicates a copy of the first tape needs to be made. At various stages of the process, checks are made to determine if error flag is on. If the error flag is detected, writing the second tape is suspended.

A compact and lightweight support stand is provided for use by campers, backpackers, etc., to support a food pouch or the like containing dehydrated food adapted for reconstitution upon addition of water. The support stand comprises a pair of substantially identical plates shaped to interlock in facing relation to define a stable trough for receiving and supporting a food pouch in an open condition during rehydration and serving. The plates are adapted to be disassembled and nested compactly, such that the support stand occupies a minimum space when packed with other camping equipment.

The file holder includes an elongated board with a plurality of transverse grooves cut in its top surface. A plurality of racks of L-shape in cross section include downwardly extending stems receivable in the grooves to support the racks in inclined positions on the board. The spacing of the grooves and inclination of the racks is such that identifying information constituting the top few lines on pharmacist's prescription files placed in the racks is clearly visible to a pharmacist at all times so that a desired prescription file can readily be located when stored in the holder.
