Who is system administrator?

5.Who is System administrator?
Ans.
1. Linux system administrator is the person who has “root” access, which is to say the one who is the system’s ‘superuser’ (or root user).

2. A standard Linux user is limited to whatever he/she can do with underlying engine of the system.

3. But root user has unuttered access to everything that includes user accounts their home directories and the files inside those directories, all system configuration and all the files on the system.

4. A certain body of thought says no one should ever log in as “root” because System administrator tasks can be performed more easily and safely with others.

5. Because system administrator has full privileges his first duty is to know what he is doing.

6. The word duty implies a degree of task or work which is hard to perform.

7. Clearly it’s a tremendous flexibility of system measured against the responsibility to run a tight organisation.

8. These duties do not so much constrain you, the system administrator, as free you to match the job task.

Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux.

22.Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux. Ans. 1. These file systems do not exist on disk in the same way that traditional file systems do, they either exists entirely in the system memory or they are virtual because they are an interface to system devices. 2. cramfs: cramfs is designed to cram a file System onto a small flash memory device, so it is small, simple and able to compress things well. The largest file size is 16MB and the largest file system size is 256MB since cramfs is so compressed, it isn’t instantly updateable. 3. tmpfs: tmpfs is structured around the idea that whatever is put in the /tmp file system is accessed again shortly, tmpfs solely in memory, so what you put in /tmp doesn’t persist between reboots. 4. ramfs: ramfs is basically cramfs without the compression. 5. romfs: This is a read only file system that is mostly used for initial ramdisks of installation disks. It was designed to take up very little space, so you could fit a ke...
