Chapter 12 File and
Secondary Storage Management
|
1. The storage I/O control layer processes service calls
from the command layer or application program and issues commands to the
storage I/O control layer to interact with hardware.
|
|
2. An FMS provides command-layer functions and utility

|
|

multiple physical secondary storage devices.
|
|
5. A typical laptop computer has up to a few hundred

general-purpose computer.

26. Among other things, ____ type determines naming
restrictions, allowable operations, and physical organization.

folder can’t be contained in more than one parent.
|
|
30. The folder that’s currently being accessed is called
the ____ folder
|
|
31. A ____ is a data structure that records which
allocation units are free and which belong to files.
|
|
32. When the storage allocation table uses ____ data
structures sequential file access is very efficient but random access is much
less efficient.
|
|
33. A ____ is a collection of data items, or fields, that
an application program accesses as a single unit.
|
|
34. A ____ is the unit of storage transferred between the
device controller and memory in a single operation.
|
|
35. Blocking is described by a numeric ratio of logical
records to physical records called the ____.
|
|
36. A ____ is a temporary holding area for extracting
logical records from physical records.
|
|
37. In UNIX, the ____ privilege allows a user or process
can view a file’s contents.
|
|
38. In UNIX, the ____ privilege allows a user or process to
alter a file’s contents or delete it altogether.
|
|
39. In Windows NTFS, the ____ contains a sequential set of
file records, one for each file in the volume.
|
|
40. In a process called ____, a file’s original version is
archived automatically whenever the file is modified.
|
|
41. When a(n) ____ is performed, the FMS copies all files

|
|
42. A(n) ____ archives only files that have been modified
