Explain Network File System V 4 (NFSv4).

By
56.Explain Network File System V 4 (NFSv4).
Ans.
1. NFS version 4, offers better security and performance enhancement over previous versions of NFS protocols.

 2. NFSv4 incorporates RPCSEC-GSS security, which makes it possible to encrypt the data stream transmitted between NFS client and server.

 3. To increase performance, NFSv4 makes complete use of client-side caching to reduce the frequency with which clients must communicate with an NFS server. It increases overall performance by minimizing the number of server round tips.

 4. NFSv4 extends its support to ACL (Access control list).

 5. Although it is interoperable with NFSv3 but its clients cannot 
mount NFSv2 Exports.

 6. NFSv4 enhances performance over internet even on low bandwidth network connections.

 7. NFSv4 also supports UTF-8 filenames making cross-platform and inter-character set file sharing more comfortable.

Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux.

By
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...
