IIRC, the original Amiga File System might be prior art for this. It used
linked lists on the disk and it was really, really slow.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This strikes me as the kind of thing you would do
if you had a disk that could just barely handle the
bandwidth required for real time video, and you
had no time to read and write anywhere else on the
disk to maintain an allocation table.
In fact, it looks similar to what I know a "video disk"
did in the late 1980's - early 1990's. It was
sold as an add-on to an early image processing
system I worked with on in 1990-91. Uncompressed
video frames were stored raw on a disk that was
ridiculously small and slow with today's standards.
