OS Theory Concept Map – Section 4
Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read the following sections in your textbook: 9.1 to 9.6and 9.9 in Chapter 9: Mass-Storage Structure, 10.1 to 10.7 in Chapter 10: File System Interface, 11.1 to 11.3 and 11.10 in Chapter 11: File System Implementation, and 12.1 to 12.4 and 12.8 in Chapter 12: I/O. In addition, answer the following exercises: 9.1, 9.4, and 10.1. Solutions to the Practice Exercises can be accessed via the textbook website: Chapter 9 and Chapter 10.
You will be including revised content from this interactive assignment in your OS Theory Concept Map final assignment. Prior to completing work on this interactive assignment, you may wish to review the instructions included for the OS Theory Concept Map final assignment in Week 5 to see how it fits into your overall final project.
To complete this week’s interactive assignment, you will continue building the OS Theory Concept Map by addressing the following topics concerning files, mass storage, and I/O:
- Outline the objectives and functions of file systems management and the supported operations, including their reliability and performance.
- Contrast different directory structures and create unique diagrams to illustrate an example of each directory structure (similar to Figures 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, and 10.13 in your textbook). Insert these images as nodes of your concept map. To create your diagrams, you can choose to use a graphics editing software (PowerPoint, Paint, PhotoShop, etc.), an online mapping software tool (draw.io), or even upload a photo of a hand-drawn sketch.
- Describe different types of input/output devices, distinguishing between the hardware and software layers and summarizing the integration across I/O and memory components.
Logically arrange the essential concepts about files, mass storage, and I/O into a hierarchy of nodes that branch from the main idea. Include cross-links where necessary to show relationships in different sections of the concept map. Use connecting nodes to accurately describe each relationship between topics that connect. Section 4 must have at least three nodes and at least four connecting nodes.
