The number of contiguous allocation read/write operations on blocks.
In OS, there are 5 different types of file allocation mechanisms. the File Allocation Table (FAT), Inode, Linked File Allocation, Contiguous File Allocation, and Indexed File Allocation. When a block is allocated for a contiguous file, all of the allocated blocks on the hard disk are contiguous (adjacent).
The next available block in the super block list is allocated when the kernel has to allocate a block from a file system (algorithm alloc). The block cannot be redistributed once it has been completed until it is free.
