Suppose that a major development in primary storage technology made it possible to produce a storage so large, so fast and so inexpensive that all the programs and data at an installation could be stored in a single “chip.” How would the design of a file system for such a single-level storage differ from that for today’s conventional hierarchical storage systems?

What will be an ideal response?

In this storage system the file system would not have to worry about fragmentation,
because access times essentially would be equal. Also, compaction would take significantly
less time due to the speed of the chip.
