Disk Management & Disk Scheduling
Disk Management & Disk Scheduling
PRESENTED BY :-
ADVANTAGES
• OPTIMAL SOLUTION
• LESS SEEK TIME
DISADVANTAGES:
• CAN CAUSE STARVATION
FCFS (First Come First Serve)
Advantages Disadvantages
Its greatest benefit is its simplicity It has a longer waiting time.
Can be quicky and easily implemented into It has lower device utilization.
any scheduling system
Example of First Come First Serve
• Input: Request sequence = {176, 79, 34, 60,
92, 11, 41, 114} Initial head position = 50
SCAN (Elevator Algorithm)
Advantages Disadvantages
It provides better response time More seek movements are caused in C-
SCAN compared to SCAN Algorithm.
Works well with heavy loads Even if there are no requests left to be
serviced the Head will still travel to the
end of the disk unlike SCAN algorithm.
