Consider a file system that has the following description:
The disk is divided into 1024-byte blocks.
The beginning of the disk contains an array of 216 inodes, each of which can represent a file or be unallocated.
A file has an indexed structure: an inode contains
(a) 8 data block pointers, each of which is 4 bytes and each of which points to a disk block and
(b) a pointer to ONE indirect block, which is a disk block that itself contains data block pointers.
The inode also contains a userid (2 bytes), three time stamps (4 bytes each), protection bits (2 bytes), a reference count (3 bytes), and the size (4 bytes).
A directory contains a list of (file_name, inode_number) pairs, where the file_name portion is always exactly 14 bytes, including the null terminator (if the file_name would otherwise be fewer than 14 bytes, it is padded to 14 bytes).

(a) State the maximum file size, and justify your answer, for example by showing how you get your answer. You may express your answer as a sum of powers-of-two.

The answer is access.

My favorite is "be concise."have you ever received an email and had to read a page full of information? by the time you finished reading it, you had to re-read it? i have even hit "reply" so that i could break it down into separate paragraphs and send it back to myself.what is concise? get to the point, fast. when opening an email like this, some will close it or print it to read later.i learned to use the subject line to prepare the reader for content. such as, "need on (blank), " "info only re: (blank)," "request input on (blank)," "read before (blank) meeting." these are just some.if you are asking for something, make that your first sentence. follow this by who, what, when, where, and how. use these, as necessary. example; (1) who (who needs it and or who does it), (2) what (specific description of what is needed), (3) when (specific, i need this by 8: 00 am monday or i need this by 10: 00 am today), (4) where (does it have to be printed and taken to someone, maybe the place of the meeting), (5) how (i need it scanned or faxed back to me at this email address, provide me with a hard copy).do not send yet. re-read it. did some spell check change a word? maybe let someone else read it for understanding. you want to avoid multiple emails asking for clarification. if important, put a read receipt on it. you will know it was opened, not necessarily read.end with a you.
