What file allocation strategy is most appropriate for random access files?

  

Answers


Faith
An inode (indexed node) based file allocation strategy. It is a form of file allocation table that offers
temporal locality – the inode only needs to be located in memory when its corresponding file is open.
The inode is a data structure which lists all attributes and points to all the addresses of the disk blocks
corresponding to that file.
