This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.

Laying out the disk

A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.

File system design chasing a moving target: each layout is optimal for the hardware behaviour of its decade, and then the hardware changes. Collects the layout designs in sequence, so the argument between them is legible. Membership turns on the on-disk arrangement being the subject rather than the interface above it.
