Question

Consider a file system that uses inodes to represent files. Disk blocks are 8 kb in size and a pointer to a disk block requires 4 bytes. This file system has 12 direct disk blocks, as well as single, double and triple indirect disk blocks. What is the maximum

Answer 1

Number of ptrs/block = 8K/4 = 2048 (12 * 8KB) + (2048 * 8KB) + (2048 * 2048 * 8KB) + (2048 * 2048 * 2048 * 8KB)
