PART – B

1. Summarize the information maintained in the File Control Block (FCB) with suitable
diagram.
2. Explain the different disk scheduling algorithms with examples.
3. Explain and compare FCFS, SSTF, C-SCAN and C-LOOK disk scheduling algorithms
with examples.
4. Is it necessary for the operating system to maintain a free space list, which keeps
track of the disk blocks that are not allocated to some file or directory? Discuss
the methodologies used by the operating system to keep track such free disk
blocks. Also, find the free space bit map by considering a disk with 28 blocks 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.
5. Assume the following disk access request queue with 200 cylinders numbered from
0 to 199.
Queue: 98, 183, 37, 122, 14, 124, 65, 67
1. Find the total number of head movement required using FIFO, SSTF, SCAN, C-SCAN
algorithms. Assume the head pointer is at cylinder 53.
2. How do you choose an optimal technique among the various disk scheduling
techniques? Explain.
3. Write short notes on disk management.
4. Explain in detail the disk structure and implementation
5. Discuss how free space is managed by operating system?
6. Explain the file allocation methods
7. Explain the issues in designing a file system.
