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.

Minix Attributes associated with a file can be maintained in several places as discussed inthe course content:a. Within the set of open file descriptorsb. Within the system-wide file table entry for the filec. Within the ‘i-node’ (or ‘v-node’)These attributes can be associated with the actual file (e.g. the file size), or can be associatedwith an open instance of the file (e.g. whether the file is opened for reading or writing, whether thefile is opened for non-blocking I/O, etc.).What would be preferred location of the following attributes of a file and why? Discuss anytradeoffs if that attribute could be in more than one of the above.a. The owner of the file.b. The “read/write” pointer of the open file.c. Whether the file is opened for reading, writing, or both.
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…
Write a C program to Implement the Indexed allocation strategy.
Computer system there is a total of 16 blocks with file occupying the following set of block number : f1(1,12,6,9,14,2) F2(10,3) F3(7,15,4) Do allocation with indexed allocation method with 3 direct pointers and one index block pointer، draw the file directory and blocks on disk
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…

An operating system follows a variable memory partitioning model. The system keeps track Question 31 of empty blocks in a linked list in the order of their address, where each node stores the size of next empty block in the memory. Say that current state of the memory is hold by the linked list shown below, which tells that there are currently four empty blocks in the memory, and the size of first block is 12 byte etc. 12 8 3 Assume that following memory block requests have been made in given order: 8 bytes, 2 bytes and 6 bytes. Draw the linked list to be changed after each block assignment by the following strategies; (a) First Fit (a) Best Fit
Using Worst Fit as our dynamic memory allocation strategy, which available block of memory would we allocate an object request that requires 32 bytes Occupied Free-50 Occupied Free-40 Occupied Free-32 Occupied Free-1,000 Free-50 Free-40 Free-32 Free-1,000 Not enough memory
