(Solved) : Certain File System Files Allocated Space Large Blocks 16 Kb Final Partial Block Allocated Q37291847 . . .
In a certain file system, files are allocated most of theirspace in large blocks (16 kB) but any final, partial block isallocated in “scraps” (1 kB each). Assume that 40% of the fileshave a size uniformly distributed between 1 B and 4 kB, 40% have asize uniformly distributed between 4kB and 16kB, and the rest ofthe files have sizes uniformly distributed between 16 kB and 1MB.
Suppose you had toimplement this in the Minix file system (FS, used genericallyhere). What additional structures and functions would you need tohandle this? Be explicit in terms of allocation and freeing ofblocks and scraps, and in caching.
