Disk block $$1:$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Directory, with one $$32$$ bit entry per file:
Disk block $$2:$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Data block $$1;$$
Disk block $$3:$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Data block $$2;$$ etc.

(a) What is the maximum possible number of files?
(b) What is the maximum possible file size in blocks?
