A file contains 1026 bytes. How many bytes of disk space will it consume if size of a disk block is 1024 bytes?

A file contains 1026 bytes. How many bytes of disk space will it consume if size of a disk block is 1024 bytes? Correct Answer 2048

Sine files are written to the disk in terms of block size, the size consumed by the file vary from the original size of the file. Suppose, if a file size is 800 bytes but the block size on the system is 1024 bytes, then that file will consume 1024 bytes on diskspace i.e. 1 block.

Assume that a file is written using write (fd, buf, K) system call, where fd is the file descriptor and K is the number of bytes to be written to the current file offset which is a multiple of the disk block size D. The total number of disk block writes required to be executed before the system call returns
Consider a hard disk with 16 recording surfaces (0-15) having 16384 cylinders (0-16383) and each cylinder contains 64 sectors (0-63). Data storage capacity in each sector is 512 bytes. Data are organized cylinder-wise and the addressing format is . A file of size 42797 KB is stored in the disk and the starting disk location of the file is <1200, 9, 40>.
