2. Consider a file currently consisting of 100 blocks. Assume that the file-control block (and the index block, in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. Calculate how many disk I/O operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, if, for one block, the following conditions hold. In the contiguous-allocation case, assume that there is no room to grow at the beginning but there is room to grow at the end. Also assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory. a) The block is added at the beginning. b) The block is added in the middle. c) The block is added at the end. d) The block is removed from the beginning. e) The block is removed from the middle. f) The block is removed from the end. note: this is full a question that need to be answered. there is no more extra info about this question.

Filesystem Accesses: Assume a filesystem that with respect to this question has already cached the root inode structure in memory, but has not yet cached any file data/content. What is the minimum number of block I/O requests that need to be submitted to a disk to access the file content of a file "/usr/frankeh/WTH". Think about the structure of inode and directories and each access required to get to the data Your answer
Consider a file currently consisting of 83 blocks. Assume that the file control block (and the index block, in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. Calculate how many disk I/O operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, if, for one block, the following conditions hold. In the contiguous allocation case, assume that there is room to grow in the beginning and in the end. Assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory. For linked allocation, there is a head and tail pointer pointing respectively to the first and last node. Note that while calculating the total number of I/O operations for each, also indicate how many are from r (read) and w (write). For each part, if there is more than one answer, choose the one that gives you the least number of I/O operations. The block is removed from the beginning The block is added after 41st block The block is removed from the end Assumptions: Read one whole…
Consider a file system that uses a modifed contiguous-allocation scheme with support for extents. A file is a collection of extents, with each ex- tent corresponding to a contiguous set of blocks. A key issue in such systems is the degree of variability in the size of the extents. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following schemes: a. All extents are of the same size, and the size is predetermined. b. Extents can be of any size and are allocated dynamically. c. Extents can be of a few fixed sizes, and these sizes are predeter- mined.

A post calculation strategy for a factory indicates a disk with 200 blocks. Assuming, that the file control block contains the information given below. Perform an allocation for the specified files using contagious, linked and indexed allocation methods. (Note: Assume the end block, Index block wherever required)
A company has a calculation strategy where the number of file systems needed indicates a disk with 1000 blocks. There are in total five files. Assume the end block, index block wherever required. Also, considering that the file control block contains the information in the order of Using contiguous, linked and indexed allocation methods compute the allocated files.
1. Assume that a virtual memory is managed using a buffer pool. The buffer pool contains five buffers and each buffer stores one block of data. Memory accesses are by disk block ID. Assume the following series of memory accesses takes place. 5 2 5 12 3 6 5 9 3 2 4 1 5 9 8 15 3 7 2 5 9 10 4 6 8 5 2. For the following buffer pool, using the LRU replacement heuristic, show the disk block ID of the buffer pool as each disk block is called using the table below. Assume that the buffer pool is initially empty.

Consider a hierarchical file system in which free disk space is kept in a free space list. a. Suppose the pointer to free space is lost. Can the system reconstruct the free space list? b. Suggest a scheme to ensure that the pointer is never lost as a result of a single memory failure.
Problem: A 1024 x 1024 array of 32-bit numbers is to be normalized as follows. For each column, the largest element is found and all elements of the column are divided by the value of this element. Assume that each page in the virtual memory consists of 4K bytes, and that 1M bytes of the main memory are allocated for storing array data during this computation. Assume that it takes 10 ms to load a page from the disk into the main memory when a page fault occurs. (a) Assume that the array is processed one column at a time. How many page faults would occur and how long does it take to complete the normalization process if the elements of the array are stored in column order in the virtual memory? (b) Repeat part (a) assuming the elements are stored in row order?
