But storage devices cannot know how they are used, as part of an array, or
an LVM logical volume which is carved out of a volume group, or whatever.
Or how the filesystem is structured on top of that. Only the OS knows
this.
Does the drive know how the journalling works, or where the redundant
superblocks are located? No, it doesn’t. What is the algorithm for
spreading out those copies of the superblock to try to ensure that a
single head crash is unlikely to destroy them all? Does the drive itself
help with this? No.
