Question: To perform a write operation to a single data block B in a RAID level 4 system with n data disks and 1 parity disk,

To perform a write operation to a single data block B in a RAID level 4 system with n data disks and 1 parity disk, select the list of I/O operations that would satisfy the requirements. (Symbol represents the XOR operation.)
Group of answer choices
1. Read the old parity block Q and (n-1) data blocks of the stripe
2. New parity P = Q(n-1) data blocks of stripe
3. Write new data block B
4. Write new parity block P
1. Read the old parity block Q
2. New parity P = BQ
3. Write new data block B
4. Write new parity block P
1. Read the other (n-1) blocks of the stripe
2. New parity P =of all the n data blocks (including the new block being updated)
3. Write new data block B
4. Write new parity block P
None of the above.
