Problem 2 Consider the inode of Figure 1 (it is same as the Figure 12.9 of the textbook). Assume that the inode contains 15 pointers. 12 pointers are used to point direct blocks. Other three pointers are used to point single indirect, double indirect, and triple indirect blocks. Also, assume that each data block is 4KB in size and the pointer size is 4B. mode owners (2) a) Suppose, you need to allocate a 2GB file, then which allocation method would you choose - direct, single indirect, double indirect, or triple indirect?
