Question:
The following question involves the following Table, which contains part of a File Allocation Table. The “Cluster” column contains cluster numbers; the “Pointer” column contains the corresponding FAT entry.
The FAT entry contains one of the following: 0 to indicate a free cluster, 9999 to indicate the end of file, and any value in between indicates the next cluster in the file.
The following directory entries apply to these FAT entries:
- Name: F1, Starting Cluster: 100
- Name: F2, Starting Cluster: 106
- Name: F3, Starting Cluster: 120
- Name: F4, Starting Cluster: 126
We are writing additional data to file F1 and need to add another cluster to the end of the file. Locate a cluster in the FAT to add the file. List the specific changes to make to the FAT to add the sector to F1.
