#15For anyone who is interested, the author of this diagram also made a Linux disk I/O diagram ( https://zenodo.org/records/15234151 ). These diagrams are from his book Operativni sustavi i računalne mreže - Linux u primjeni ( https://zenodo.org/records/17371946 ) Shout out to the brilliant and generous work of the author!
