Question: Each directory entry for the file system is 1 0 2 4 bytes long, and has this layout: 1 0 2 4 character ( max

Each directory entry for the file system is 1024 bytes long, and has this layout:
1024 character (max) file name length
32-bit file type
32-bit owner ID
32-bit group ID
32-bit (total) of access permissions
32-bit creation timestamp
32-bit access timestamp
32-bit modification timestamp
64-bit file size
A list of 32-bit cluster numbers
c) What is the maximum number of entries in the cluster 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?
g) 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?
j) What is the physical location of cluster number (0100)16 on the drive?
