i'm having problems in solving this question:

File size = 13825 bytes
Block size = 124 bytes
Type of addressing = single indirect addressing

how can i calculate the FSF?

thank you...

What are you actually looking for? Number of blocks?

Sorry, Harry, my mother was an English teacher and I was trying to be grammatically correct.

i want to know the fragment size, the file specification format, and the block policy.

by the way,can i know the structure of the file system?
did the file system has any connection with the file storage & addressing?

thank you...

man fstyp
as in:

fstyp -v /dev/vg00/rlvol6

As far as the layout, HP-UX has two major filesystem formats: hfs and vxfs (aka, JFS). Both of these require a multipage document to describe their formats. HFS is the McKusick high performance filesystem and allocates space very differently than vxfs. Both use inodes to represent data blocks and both use multi-level indirect addressing so that terabyte files can be addressed.
