Random information on the term “ONTAP”:

The Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) is a file layout that supports large, high-performance RAID arrays, quick restarts without lengthy consistency checks in the event of a crash or power failure, and growing the filesystems size quickly. It was designed by NetApp for use in its storage appliances like NetApp FAS, AFF, ONTAP Cloud and ONTAP Select.

Its author claims that WAFL is not a file system, although it includes one. WAFL provides mechanisms that enable a variety of file systems and technologies that want to access disk blocks.

As the name suggests Write Anywhere File Layout does not store data or metadata in pre-determined locations on disk, instead it automatically places data using temporal locality to write metadata alongside user data in a way designed to minimize the number of disk operations required to commit data to stable disk storage using single and dual parity based RAID.

Using a data placement based on temporal locality of reference can improve the performance of reading data sets which are read in a similar way to the way they were written (e.g. a database record and its associated index entry), however it can also cause fragmentation from the perspective of spatial locality of reference. On spinning HDDs this does not adversely affect files that are sequentially written, randomly read, or are subsequently read using the same temporal pattern, but does affect sequential read after random write spatial data access patterns because of magnetic head could be only in one position at a time to read data from platter while fragmentation does no effect on SSD drives.
