The document discusses the First Come First Serve (FCFS) disk scheduling algorithm. FCFS is the simplest disk scheduling algorithm as requests are served in the order they arrive. It is easy to program and intrinsically fair, but does not provide optimal disk head movement as requests are not ordered for proximity. The document provides an example of the FCFS algorithm applied to a disk request queue, showing the path the disk head takes to fulfill the requests and the total head movement distance.
