A file has 40,000 Student records of fixed-length. Consider a disk with block size B=512 bytes. A block pointer is 8 bytes long and a record pointer is 7 bytes long. Each record has the following fields: Attributes StudentID Size (in bytes) 9 Name Sex Course Major Phone Address 30 1 10 9 30 8 3 DoB Status a. Calculate the record size R in bytes. b. Calculate the blocking factor bft and the number of files blocks b assuming an unspanned organization. c. Suppose the file is ordered by the key field StudentID and we want to construct a primary index on it. Calculate the index blocking factor bft_i. A file has 40,000 Student records of fixed-length.
