Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a situation where a file system using the counting method has a free space representation of: (100, 5), (200, 10), (300, 2). If 7 blocks are allocated starting from block 200, what will be the new free space representation?
💡 Hint: Focus on how the counts are adjusted when allocation happens.
Question 2
Propose a strategy for addressing fragmentation in a file system that uses the counting method. How would you merge adjacent freed blocks?
💡 Hint: Think about how you might identify adjacent blocks in memory.
