Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A file system uses indexed allocation with 1024-byte data blocks. If the index block contains 128 pointers, what is the maximum size for a file that can be stored using a single index block? Calculate the size in bytes.
💡 Hint: Consider how many data blocks the index can point to and their size.
Question 2
Describe a scenario where multi-level indexing becomes necessary in a file system. What impact does this have on performance?
💡 Hint: Think about how files with many data blocks would need more pointers.
