Question about setting up a hard drive for a videoserver under Linux
Hi there,
I'm currently preparing for an exam and came across a question that I don't really know how to answer.
"You want to set up a hard drive for a videoserver under linux.
- The videofiles will have a size of at least 10MB and a maximum of 8BG.
- The hard drive has a disk space of 1TB.
- You can choose one of the following block sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024kB.
Which block size do you choose for the filesystem and what's the maximum number of I-Nodes you would need.
Additionally you also want to set up another filesystem for administrative data under the same conditions as above. The files have an average size of 150 Byte and the Filesystem is supposed to have a size of 100MB. Which block size do you choose."
I suppose the maximum amount of i-nodes for a 1TB hard drive is around 31M since there's 1 i-node created for every 32KB of space. But as for the block sizes, I have no idea what to choose.
Thanks in advance and cheers!

net::dns::question
Net::DNS::Question(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::DNS::Question(3)
NAME
Net::DNS::Question - DNS question record
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS::Question;
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com', 'A', 'IN');
DESCRIPTION
A Net::DNS::Question object represents a record in the question section of a DNS packet.
METHODS
new
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com', 'A', 'IN');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('192.0.32.10', 'PTR', 'IN');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('192.0.32.10');
Creates a question object from the domain, type, and class passed as arguments. One or both type and class arguments may be omitted and
will assume the default values shown above.
RFC4291 and RFC4632 IP address/prefix notation is supported for queries in both in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa namespaces.
decode
$question = decode Net::DNS::Question($data, $offset);
($question, $offset) = decode Net::DNS::Question($data, $offset);
Decodes the question record at the specified location within a DNS wire-format packet. The first argument is a reference to the buffer
containing the packet data. The second argument is the offset of the start of the question record.
Returns a Net::DNS::Question object and the offset of the next location in the packet.
An exception is raised if the object cannot be created (e.g., corrupt or insufficient data).
encode
$data = $question->encode( $offset, $hash );
Returns the Net::DNS::Question in binary format suitable for inclusion in a DNS packet buffer.
The optional arguments are the offset within the packet data where the Net::DNS::Question is to be stored and a reference to a hash table
used to index compressed names within the packet.
qname, zname
$qname = $question->qname;
$zname = $question->zname;
Returns the question name attribute. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is known as zname() and refers to the zone name.
qtype, ztype
$qtype = $question->qtype;
$ztype = $question->ztype;
Returns the question type attribute. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is known as ztype() and refers to the zone type.
qclass, zclass
$qclass = $question->qclass;
$zclass = $question->zclass;
Returns the question class attribute. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is known as zclass() and refers to the zone class.
print
$object->print;
Prints the record to the standard output. Calls the string() method to get the string representation.
string
print "string = ", $question->string, "
";
Returns a string representation of the question record.
