1. A computing system, comprising:

  • a host device (HD); and

    a local storage device (LSD) managed by the HD, wherein the LSD does not utilize any interface to a device external to the HD other than that interface provided by the HD, and wherein the LSD indirectly prompts the HD to execute a requested process by using a LSD logical request to prompt the HD to establish a communication path between the LSD and a launching application, wherein the LSD and the launching application logically interact over the communication path without intervention by the HD, and wherein the logical interaction causes the launching application to prompt the HD to execute the requested process wherein the LSD logical request is not created to serve a HD initiated process.
