Looks good, but I'd use a bit different wording. Instead of:

+option assumes that the underlying file system does not allocate new blocks
+when writing to existing blocks.

Maybe something like this:

+option assumes that the underlying file system updates existing blocks
+in-place and does not store new data in new location.
