Question:
The study also finds that file systems are usually about half full. Assume you have a 37 GB disk volume that is roughly half full and follows that same distribution, and answer the following questions:
a. How much extra information (both in bytes and as a percent of the volume) must you keep on disk to be able to detect a single error with checksums?
b. How much extra information (both in bytes and as a percent of the volume) would you need to be able to both detect a single error with checksums as well as correct it?
c. Given this file distribution, is the block size you are using to compute checksums too big, too little, or just right?
