If contiguous space of the first size exists on the disk, allocating the contiguous space on the disk to obtain a contiguous space address, and responding to the request to allocate space on disk with a contiguous space pointer. If no contiguous space of the first size exists on the disk, allocating a gang block header, populating the gang block header, and responding to the request to allocate space on the disk with a gang block header pointer.
