Question File System Implementation points
This question is related to ILO d describe the principles and techniques used by OS to support persistent data storage
Consider a GiB thumbdrive device with a storage capacity of GiB that uses the tabular allocation scheme to manage its storage space. In this case, let's assume that the system has a disk block size of KiB and each entry in the block allocation table stores a bit disk block pointer. Note: mathrmKiB bytes and mathrmGiB bytes.
a points How many disk blocks on the thumbdrive are required to store the block allocation table?
b points Consider the file system uses a data block bitmap for free space management. How many disk blocks are required to store the data block bitmap?
c points Consider a program that has opened a file containing blocks of data. Assume the block allocation table, data block bitmap and the file's file control block are already loaded to the memory. How many disks IO operations read and write will result when the system removes the th block from the file? Assume after the system updating the metadata, it pushes the update to the disk.
