You could first filter out the target file system for the file IO by
doing a count() aggregation on;

[fds[arg0].fi_fs] = count();

NOTE - this will only work for those system calls that take a file
descriptor as arg0.

Once you know the FS target for the file IO (ufs? zfs? whatever), use it
in a predicate to capture systems calls of interest;

/ fds[arg0].fi_fs == "ufs" /

(for example - replace "ufs" with whatever came up in the previous 
result.

And, again, this will only work for the system calls that take a
file descriptor as arg0.
