Suggest other techniques besides disk scheduling and file reorganization for minimizing seeks.
What will be an ideal response?
One technique would be block I/O transfers in sequential file-processing applications
in systems with a high degree of multiprogramming. Because it is known that the entire file
will be read front to back, it makes sense to read large blocks rather than individual records.
This will minimize I/O activity on the file and will consequently minimize seek activity.
