A better way of contiguous allocation to extend the file size is _____________

A. Adding an extent (another chunk of contiguous space)
B. Adding an index table to the first contiguous block
C. Adding pointers into the first contiguous block
D. None of the mentioned

If the extents are too large, then what is the problem that comes in?

A. Internal fragmentation
B. External fragmentation
C. Starvation
D. All of the mentioned

The FAT is used much as a _________

A. Stack
B. Linked list
C. Data
D. Pointer

A section of disk at the beginning of each partition is set aside to contain the table in _____________

A. Fat
B. Linked allocation
C. Hashed allocation
D. Indexed allocation

Contiguous allocation has two problems _________ and _________ that linked allocation solves.

A. External €? fragmentation & size €? declaration
B. Internal €? fragmentation & external €? fragmentation
C. Size €? declaration & internal €? fragmentation
D. Memory €? allocation & size €? declaration

Each _______ has its own index block.

A. Partition
B. Address
C. File
D. All of the mentioned

Indexed allocation _________ direct access.

A. Supports
B. Does not support
C. Is not related to
D. None of the mentioned

For any type of access, contiguous allocation requires ______ access to get a disk block.

A. Only one
B. At least two
C. Exactly two
D. None of the mentioned

Explanation: We can easily keep the initial address of the file in memory and calculate immediately the disk address of the ith block and read it directly.

Consider a disk where blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 25, 26 and 27 are free and the rest of the blocks are allocated. Then the free space bitmap would be _____________

A. 10000110000001110011111100011111€?
B. 110000110000001110011111100011111€?
C. 01111001111110001100000011100000€?
D. 001111001111110001100000011100000€?
