Answer:

64 terabytes

Explanation:

Given data:

Size of the disk block = 8 KB

Size required by the pointer to a disk block = 4 bytes

Now,

Size required by 12 direct disk blocks = 12 × 8

Size required by single disk block = 2048 × 8 KB

Size required by double disk block = 2048 × 2048 × 8 KB

size  required by triple disk block = 2048 × 2048 × 2048 × 8 KB

Now,

the maximum size of the file that can be stored in the this file system = 12 × 8  + 2048 × 8 KB  +  2048 × 2048 × 8 KB + 2048 × 2048 × 2048 × 8 KB  = 64 terabytes
