If a disk has double interleaving, does it also need cylinder skew in order to avoid missing data when making a track-to-track seek? Justify your answer. Consider a disk queue with requests for I/O to blocks on cylinders 24, 90, 133, 43, 188. The head is initially at cylinder number 100 and the cylinders are numbered from 0 to 199. Calculate the total head movement for servicing the requests using FCFS, SSTF and CSCAN.
