What are the constraints for designing small and large files and how these are resolved in different file system (e.g. FAT, FFS etc.).
We can have small and large files in the file system but there are constraints for both of them. When we have small file then it will create small blocks which will not have storage efficiency. The files which are you to store the data must be stored together. When we use the large files Then it will create the Contiguous allocation for the sequential access. The efficiently for all the random access. There are chances that we do not know at the file creation whether it will have a large or small file size (Malueg, M. D., Li, H., Gopalan, Y. N., Radko, R. O., Polivy, D. J., Drasnin, S., ... & Huang, D.). 
The file allocation table is one of the simplest file systems which is supported by NT.  It belongs to the category of file allocation table. This type of table mainly resides at the top of the volume. In order to protect the volume, we will keep two copies of the same file which can help if one gets damaged.
