Suppose on disk drive data block size is $2$ KB $(2,048$ bytes$).$ Disk block numbers take $32$ bits $(4$ bytes$),$ and the i$-$node implementing files contains $10$ direct pointers, one single$-$indirect pointer and one double$-$indirect pointer. Assume an index block has the same size as a data block, then the maximum number of data blocks a file can have is $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.$
