A system administrator has decided to implement a disk quota system to help manage the disk space on a multiuser system. Consider three possible scenarios : soft quota only ( hard quota set to infinite), a soft quota with a larger hard quota, and the soft and hard quotas being set to an equal amount. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
1. Hard quotas prevent users from writing data to disk. With hard quotas, the utility automatically limits the user's disk space for you, and no users are granted exceptions. Once users are about to reach their quota, they come to you for help.
2. Soft quotas send you alerts when users are about to exceed disk space. Unlike hard quotas, there is no physical restriction to prevent users from saving their data. However, you do get alerts and can create a corporate policy to help manage data.

We know that there are different disk allocation methods that help the operating system decide how disk blocks are allocated for files. In the contiguous disk allocation method, each file occupies a set of consecutive addresses on the disk. While this makes file allocation easier, an increase in the file size means that it has to be assigned elsewhere on the disk. The linked disk allocation method requires including a pointer in the current file, which points to the location...
