(b). |
Given a magnetic tape data storage system with Inter Record Gap (IRG) length of 1 cm, where each data record requires a tape length of 0.2 cm. Each file starts and ends with a data block and there exits gaps between these blocks. | |
|
|
| (i). | Calculate the length of the tape required to keep 200 records using 10 records per block. |
|
|
| (ii). | Calculate the length of the tape required to keep 200 records using 25 records per block. |
|
|
| (iii). | Calculate the length of the tape required to keep 200 records using 50 records per block. |
|
| (iv). | Distinguish the effect of the 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii), towards small- sized files (with 15 records average for each file).
