Assignment Help Operating System

Reference no: EM13164595

Fragmentation on a storage device could be eliminated by re-compaction of the information. Typical disk devices do not have relocation or base registers (such as are used when memory is to be compacted), so how can we relocate files? Give three reasons why re-compacting and relocation of files often are avoided.
