1.Suppose a file has multiple hard links. What happens if one of the hard links is deleted? * a)The link is removed, but the file remains on the disk b)The file is actually removed from the hard disk, along with the other links c)The file is removed from the hard disk, but the other links are not removed d)You get an error message and nothing gets removed 2.The main reason to store attributes of a files with the inodes (instead of managing centrally with a common data structures) is: * a)To be able to keep attributes intact when the files are moved from one physical storage to another. b)The attributes are actually stored in different data structures within the filesystem c)None of the above d)To be able to maintain consistency across all files. The OS need not worry about the attributes.

Modify rnfile such that it will keep a copy of the old existing file (if available) before the renaming operating. Assume that apple.txt will be renamed as orange.txt. When the command “./rnfile apple.txt orange.txt” is executed, the script will first check whether orange.txt exists under the given path or not. If the file exists then orange.txt will be renamed as orange.txt_old before renaming apple.txt as orange.txt. Make rnfile an executable shell script; try to rename a file to a filename that already exists. Show your shell program and its output to the instructor.
Answer the following which is true false Hard links must be located on the same filesystem as the target, while symbolic links do not have to be located on the same filesystem as the target. Is this true or false?
