Given the following for a hybrid allocation scheme:
- size of index block = 256 bytes
- size of data block = 8 Kbytes
- size of disk block pointer = 8 bytes (to either index or data block)
- An i-node consists of 2 direct block pointers, 1 single indirect pointer, 1 double indirect pointer, and 1 triple indirect pointer.
(a) What is the maximum size (in bytes) of a file that can be stored in this file system?
(b) How many data blocks are needed for storing a data file of 1 Gbytes?
(c) How many index blocks are needed for storing the same data file of size 1 Gbytes?
