For 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!

Do you know if there is a English version of the book?

If the author agrees, I could try to learn Serbo-Croatian (I'm Polish, good with languages) and translate it to English. I'm kinda a burnout Linux geek, who cannot look at computers much more. Translating a book would be fun, but I would need some sponsoring. Amadeusz at [the old name of icloud].com

You may want to find an email provider that has a better spam filter if you want people to actually contact you.

the book is licenced under CC BY-SA so you should be OK with translating as long as you follow the licence terms.

you could try do a first pass in an AI model to translate and then proof-read it for quicker translation. good luck, it would be fun and potentially impactful ;)

To my knowledge, sadly I can't find an English version of it. I'm too wishing for a future English version so that I can read it. But I guess it will be a lot of work to translate it into English.

The Disk I/O diagram is excellent, thank you for sharing.
