(b) Consider the following idea for avoiding large recursion depths in QuickSort. Run QuickSort as usual, but when the recursion depth reaches 3 times the ideal depth at a certain sub-problem, solve that sub-problem directly using MergeSort instead of recursively calling QuickSort. The ideal recursion depth is the depth achieved when the partitioning is perfectly balanced. 1. Modify the above QuickSort pseudo-code to implement this idea. You will need to show the initial call to QuickSort. Assume that you have a MergeSort routine ready for you to use; so, you only call it. Don’t rewrite big blocks of code that do not incur any change; just indicate that they remain the same.

You have a linux system that has a 1000gb hard disk drive, which has a 90gb partition containing an ext4 filesystem mounted to the / directory and a 4gb swap partition. currently, this linux system is only used by a few users for storing small files; however, the department manager wants to upgrade this system and use it to run a database application that will be used by 100 users. the database application and the associated data will take up over 200gb of hard disk space. in addition, these 100 users will store their personal files on the hard disk of the system. each user must have a maximum of 5gb of storage space. the department manager has made it very clear that this system must not exhibit any downtime as a result of hard disk errors. how much hard disk space will you require, and what partitions would you need to ensure that the system will perform as needed? where would these partitions be mounted? what quotas would you implement? what commands would you need to run and what entries to /etc/fstab would you need to create? justify your answers.
