(Solved) : Certain File System Files Allocated Space Large Blocks 16 Kb Final Partial Block Allocated Q37291747 . . .
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.
What is the amount ofwasted space as a percentage of total space allocated to files?Compare to a system that uses only blocks of 8 kB each. (Do notinclude i-node or directory overhead.)
