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.

object of type streambuf. This object may represent a memory block that acts as an intermediary When we operate with file streams, these are associated to an internal between the stream and the physical file. For example, with an ofstream, each time the member function put (which writes a single character) is called, the character may be inserted in this intermediate buffer instead of being written directly to the physical file with which the stream is associated.

Write a C program to Implement the Indexed allocation strategy.
I need justify and explain briefly in at least 3 sentences the complexity of each operation in buffer operations in terms of Big O notation of the below code: struct Node { char data; struct Node *next; }; struct Node* head1 = NULL; struct Node* head = NULL; void push(struct Node** head_ref, char new_data) { struct Node* new_node = (struct Node*) malloc(sizeof(struct Node)); new_node->data = new_data; new_node->next = (*head_ref); (*head_ref) = new_node; } void print_list(struct Node* Head) { printf("values are: "); while(Head) { printf("%c ", Head->data); Head = Head->next; } printf("\n"); } bool isEmpty() { return head == NULL; } void pop(struct Node **head_ref, int position) { // If linked list is empty if (*head_ref == NULL) return; // Store head node struct Node* temp = *head_ref; // If head needs to be removed if (position == 0) { *head_ref = temp->next; // Change head…

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.
