define a linear ordering on the disk. With this ordering , assuming that only one job is accessing the disk,
accessing block b+1 after block b normally requires no head movement. When head movement is needed , the head
need only move from one track to the next. Thus , the number of disk seeks requires for accessing contiguously
allocated files is minimal,as is see
