In early linux systems, inodes were kept together on one part of a disk, while the corresponding data was scattered elsewhere on the disk. Later editions divided disks drives into group of adjacent cylinders called cylinder groups, in which each cylinder group contains inodes and their corresponding data. How does this new organization improve performance?

Jump to PostI don't know, but the simple answer I would think of is that with cylinder groups, related items are kept together.
