Suppose that a disk drive has 5000 cylinders, numbered from 0 to 4999. The drive is currently
serving a request at cylinder 2150. Previously, the head was at cylinder 1805. The queue of pending requests, in
order, is:
- 2069, 1212, 2296, 2800, 544, 1618, 356, 1523
Starting from the current head position, what is the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to
satisfy all pending requests for:
- SSTF disk scheduling policy (5 points).
- SCAN disk scheduling policy (5 points).
