Fragmentation of the file system

  • A.occurs only if the file system is used improperly
  • B.can always be prevented
  • C.can be temporarily removed by compaction
  • D.is a characteristic of all file systems

Answer: C

Correct answer: can be temporarily removed by compaction

Fragmentation leaves a file’s blocks scattered across the disk, so compaction (defragmentation) rewrites them contiguously and gathers the free space together. The relief is temporary: continued creation and deletion of files fragments the disk again.
