XFS excels in the execution of parallel input/output (I/O) operations due to its design, which is based on allocation groups (a type of subdivision of the physical volumes in which XFS is used- also shortened to AGs). Because of this, XFS enables extreme scalability of I/O threads, file system bandwidth, and size of files and of the file system ...
Dynamically optimized disk-layout through allocate-on-flush (also called delayed allocation in XFS) Delayed actions (tree balancing, compression, block allocation, local defragmentation) R and D (Rare and Dense) caches, synchronized at commit time; Transactions support for user-defined integrity; Metadata and inline-data checksums [7] Mirrors ...
In addition, since a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme (such as the Flash Translation Layer or FTL), it supports various parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

The layout of a disk with the GUID Partition Table. In this example, each logical block is 512 bytes in size and each entry has 128 bytes. The corresponding partition entries are assumed to be located in LBA 2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.
ReiserFS is a general-purpose, journaling file system initially designed and implemented by a team at Namesys led by Hans Reiser and licensed under GPLv2.Introduced in version 2.4.1 of the Linux kernel, it was the first journaling file system to be included in the standard kernel.
Allocate-on-flush (also called delayed allocation) is a file system feature implemented in HFS+, [1] XFS, Reiser4, ZFS, Btrfs, and ext4. [2] The feature also closely resembles an older technique that Berkeley's UFS called "block reallocation".
The on-disk layout of VxFS is versioned and upgradeable while the file system is mounted. This file system has gone through ten versions. Version 2 added support for filesets, dynamic inode allocation and ACLs. Layouts 1-3 stopped being supported in VxFS 4.0. Version 4 added support for storage checkpoints and for Veritas Cluster File System ...
