Is anyone aware of any studies on disk file organization,
and its design and considerations with respect to computer
performance, operating system and applications?  For example,
why are certain organizations more appropriate for DOS and
others more appropriate for UNIX?  Do supercomputers allow
assisting peripheral managers to dynamically reorganize data
before it's inhaled?  Irregardless, what are the considerations
made for balancing disk performance with everything else??
References are welcome.  Please, send responses or questions
