The recovery techniques that we described assume that blocks are writtenatomically to disk. However, a block may be partially written when power fails, with some sectors written, and others not yet written.a. What problems can partial block writes cause?b. Partial block writes can be detected using techniques similar to thoseused to validate sector reads. Explain how.c. Explain how RAID 1 can be used to recover from a partially writtenblock, restoring the block to either its old value or to its new value.
