Suppose a Unix Inode has 10 direct disk block pointers, one single indirect block pointer, one double indirect block pointer, and one triple indirect block pointer. For convenience, each index table has 256 = 28 entries and each block has 1K = 210 bytes. What is the maximum size of a Unix file in Kbytes?

A disk has a capacity of two tera-byte size. Say the file system uses a multi-level inode structure for locating the data blocks of afile.The inode stores pointers to data blocks, including a single indirect block, a double indirect block, and several direct blocks in the 64 B of available space.Now, it is given that the disk has a block size of 512 B. The maximum file size that can be stored in such a file system in MB (round off upto 2 decimal places).
Consider a file system that uses inodes to represent files. Disk blocks are 8 KB in size, and a pointer to a disk block requires 8 bytes. This file system has 12 direct disk blocks, as well as 1 single and 1 double indirect disk blocks. What is the maximum size of a file that can be stored in this file system in GBs (round to the nearest integer)?
Suppose that you have a very simple file system (VSFS) using i-node to manage disk data blocks, where the disk block size is 4096 bytes. Disk addresses and file block pointers take 32 bits (4 bytes), and the i-node contains 10 direct pointers, one single-indirect pointer and one double-indirect pointer. Assume an index block is the same size as a data block (both 4096 Bytes). If there is a file having 45,000 bytes of data and it has never been accessed, we only assume the file's i-node is in memory, but none of the rest of the file. If the user process wants to read the entire file into the memory, how many disk blocks (including both data blocks and index block(s)) would be brought into the main memory?

Suppose that there is a file system with blocks of 512 bytes in size. For each inode, there are 20 direct blocks, 2 singly-indirect blocks, and 2 doubly-indirect blocks. The size of a pointer is 4 bytes. Calculate the maximum possible size of a file in bytes. Show your work.
Consider a disk pack with 32 surfaces, 64 tracks and 512 sectors per pack. 256 bytes of data are stored in a bit serial manner in a sector. The number of bits required to specify a particular sector in the disk is.
Suppose that you have a UNIX file system where the disk block size is 4096 bytes. Disk addresses and file block pointers take 32 bits (4 bytes), and the i-node contains 12 direct pointers, one single-indirect pointer and one double-indirect pointer. Assume an index block is the same size as a data block (both 4096 Bytes). If there is a file having 50,000 bytes of data and it is never been accessed, we only assume the file's i-node is in memory, but none of the rest of the file. If the user process wants to access to read the entire file into the memory, how many I/O operations would be needed? O a. 15 O b. 12 O c. 14 O d. 13
Consider a file system that uses inodes to represent files. Disk blocks are 16 KB in size, and a pointer to a disk block requires 4 bytes. This file system has 12 direct disk blocks, as well as single, double, and triple indirect disk blocks. What is the maximum size of a file that can be stored in this file system?

How many block pointers will be required for a text file with 100,000 ascii characters with a block size of 4096 bytes and a block pointer size of 64 bits?
Consider a filesystem that uses inodes to represent files. Each inode contains pointers to 12 direct disk blocks, as well as a single and double indirect blocks. Disk blocks are 1KB in size, and a pointer to a disk block requires 4 bytes. If we install this filesystem on a 4TB SSD, we have (select all that apply) the SSD cannot store more than 4 billion files the SSD cannot store more than 1 billion files the SSD at least can store about 650 files the SSD at least can store about 6,500 files none of above
