Question 1 Explanation:
No. of Disk block pointers = 4kB/32bits = 1k
Max. file size
= (12 × 1k + 1k × 1k) × 4kB
≈ (1024 × 12 + 1024 × 1024) × 4 × 1024 bytes
≈ 4GB
Max. file size
= (12 × 1k + 1k × 1k) × 4kB
≈ (1024 × 12 + 1024 × 1024) × 4 × 1024 bytes
≈ 4GB
Correct Answer: D
Question 1 Explanation:
No. of Disk block pointers = 4kB/32bits = 1k
Max. file size
= (12 × 1k + 1k × 1k) × 4kB
≈ (1024 × 12 + 1024 × 1024) × 4 × 1024 bytes
≈ 4GB
Max. file size
= (12 × 1k + 1k × 1k) × 4kB
≈ (1024 × 12 + 1024 × 1024) × 4 × 1024 bytes
≈ 4GB
