Consider a file system that uses indexed allocation with a maximum of one index node per file. Suppose the index node occupies 4096 bytes, that each block pointer occupies 4 bytes. Ignore the metadata associated with the file that is usually contained in the index node. How large should a block be (in bytes) so that this scheme is able to completely access files on a 1 GB file system?
