Unix inode

Comment:

If we have, file system that each disk block in file system is 2kb in size. The inode has 12 direct block2, 2 single level indirect block and 1 double indirect block. Suppose a block need 4 bytes to present. If one file has 2070 KB. Will this file utilize the double indirect block? Why? What is the maximum file size this file system can represent? Why?

a) Yes, because single level indirect block is only able to handel 2048Kb in this config. b) 1GB, because you are using double indirect within 2Kb block size. No RISK no fun Frank
