What is the typical size of small cluster?

1MB
8 KB
4 KB
16 KB

What parts are there in an inode?

metadata, parent pointers, and payload
metadata and payload
metadata, segment numbers, and payload

How are large clusters numbered?

sequentially from the beginning of the volume
arbitrarily

VMFS stands for

virtual machine file system
volume manager file system
virtual machine file storage
virtual machine file structure

VMFS uses only contiguous areas on a disk to store files

false, files can be fragmented
true, files cannot be fragmented

What is the size of segments on VMFS filesystem?

512 MB
256 MB
512 KB
256 KB

Check what inode payload can store

up to 256 indirect block pointers
128 pointers to large clusters and 128 pointers to small clusters
128 pointers to small clusters and 128 indirect block pointers
file content for files less than 1 KB
up to 256 pointers to small clusters
up to 256 pointers to large clusters

Where is indirect blocks table stored on a VMFS volume?

in the beginning of the volume
in the end of the volume
one copy in the beginning and other – in the end

How inodes, indirect blocks table and small file repository are stored?

as special metadata structures
as regular files in the root filesystem directory

Where are small clusters stored?

in inodes
inside a special file
arbitrarily on the volume

We have a mailing list in which we talk about interesting cases we encounter and share some tips and tricks.
