Chapter 10, Problem 10.16(choose chapter or problem)
Requests are not usually uniformly distributed. For example, we canexpect a cylinder containing the file-system metadata to be accessedmore frequently than a cylinder containing only files. Suppose youknow that 50 percent of the requests are for a small, fixed number ofcylinders.a. Would any of the scheduling algorithms discussed in this chapterbe particularly good for this case? Explain your answer.b. Propose a disk-scheduling algorithm that gives even better performanceby taking advantage of this hot spot on the disk.
