11.a) Explain the different disk scheduling algorithms with examples? .(CO2,K3)
(OR)
b) Explain and compare FCFS, SSTF, C-SCAN and C-LOOK disk scheduling algorithms with examples ?
12.a) Write short notes on disk management ? .(CO2,K3)
(OR)
b) Discuss and detail about mass storage system ?
13.a) Explain the steps involved to transfer the stored historical information in a magnetic tapes to the
CPU for the further processing through various storage devices?(CO2,K3)
(OR)
b) On a disk with 200 cylinders, numbered 0 to 199, compute the number of tracks the disk arm must
move to satisfy the entire request in the disk queue. Assume the last request received was at truck 100.
The queue in FIFO order contains requests for the following tracks. 55, 58, 39, 18, 90, 160, 150, 38, 184.
Perform the computation to find the seek time for the following disk scheduling algorithms. (i) FCFS (ii)
SSTF (iii) SCAN (iv) C-SCAN (v) LOOK
14.a)Consider a disk queue with request for I\O to blocks on cylinders 98,183,37,122,14,124,65,67 If the
disk head start at 53, then the find out the total head movement with respect to i) FCFS (ii) SSTF (iii)
SCAN (iv) C-SCAN (v) LOOK scheduling?
(OR)
b) Why it is important to balance file-system I/O among the disks and controllers on a system in a
multitasking environment.?(CO2,K3)
15. a) Discuss about Types of file?
(OR)
b)What are the various disk space allocation methods Explain any two in detail ?
PART-C
16. a) Discuss about the various file access methods? and file directory structure and diagram?
(OR)
b)Explain in detail about the various allocation method with their pros and cons? and neat diagrams
