Assume all that internal arrays for indirect pointers have 8 element. each pointers/element needs 4B, and the block size is 512B
assuming that the storge is a hard disk drive (HDD) of size 500GB. All answers should be in bytes (if needed, you can use kilo "K", mega "M", etc);
a)what is the maximum file size that system can support?
b)what is minimum space overhead for this system?
c) what is maximum space overhead for the system?
for the same system , if we replaced the i-node filesystem with FAT filesystem, answer the following:
