GATE - 2002 [Operating System]
Questions:
In the index allocation scheme of blocks to a file, the maximum possible size of the file depends on
|
A |
the size of the blocks, and the size of the address of the blocks. |
|
B |
the number of blocks used for the index, and the size of the blocks. |
|
C |
the size of the blocks, the number of blocks used for the index, and the size of the address of the blocks. |
|
D |
None of the above |
Solution:
Option (C) is Correct.
No. of addressable blocks using one Index block (A) = Size of block/Size of block address.
No. of block addresses available for addressing one file(B) = No. of Maximum blocks we can use for the Index * No. of addressable blocks using one Index block(A)
Size of File = B * Size of Block
Thank You
