1) A file system which uses 8 sector clusters exists on a hard drive with the following geometry: . 4 platters 4K tracks/surface 128 sectors/track 16k bytes/sector a) How large (in bytes) is the entire drive? b) How many clusters will fit on the drive? 128 character file name (128) 32-bit owner ID (4) . 32-bit access permission bitmap (4) . 32-bit creation timestamp (4) . 32-bit access timestamp (4) 32-bit modification timestamp (4) 64-bit file size (8) A list of 32-bit cluster numbers c) What is the maximum number of cluster numbers in the list (without extending the directory entry)? d) Without using any kind of cluster list extension, what is the maximum file size (in bytes)? e) Assuming the cluster list can be expanded as needed, what is the maximum file size (in bytes)? f How many clusters would the maximum file size (from e, above) require? 8) How many full sized files (from f, above) will the drive hold? h) How many files can a directory reference and still be no larger than one cluster in size? i) If a file size is recorded as 00807B9A, how many full clusters are assigned to it? How many bytes in the last cluster are used
