Modern-filesystems and drive-controllers interact with DB ACID
properties or lack there-of.
Better have a Journalling file-system.

With a single key, with locality of reference AND of update, some sort
of b-tree file-of-records structure might be adequate. I've no clue
which one is  optimized for USUALLY appending high values. (Your
non-random write order makes me think the standard B-tree would
rebalance far too often when most inserts are actually appends .)
