[Solved]Suppose Unix File System Disk Block Size 1000 Bytes Disk Addresses File Block Pointers Tak Q37256998

Suppose that you have a UNIX file system where the disk blocksize is 1000 bytes. Disk addresses and file block pointers take 32bits (4 bytes), and the i-node contains 10 direct pointers, onesingle-indirect pointer and one double- indirect pointer. Assume anindex block is the same size as a disk block [Hint : it may help ifyou sketch a picture of how i-node is used to locate the blocksmaking up a file. ]

If a file has 50,000 bytes of data and it is never beenaccessed, we only assume the i-node is in memory, none of the restof the file the user wants to access to 2600 bytes of data fromaddress 8,500, how many I/O operations would be needed?

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 E. 5 F.6
