Suppose a system uses 1KB blocks and 16-bit (2-byte) addresses. What is the largest possible file size for this file system for the following inode organizations? a The inode contains 12 pointers directly to data blocks. b The inode contains 12 pointers directly to data blocks and one indirect block. Assume the indirect data block uses all 1024 bytes to store pointers to data blocks. c The inode contains 12 direct pointers to data blocks, one indirect data block and one doubly indirect data block.
