Explain the NFS server configuration files.

By
61.Explain the NFS server configuration files.
Ans.
1. The server configuration file is ‘/etc/exports’, which contains a list of file system to export, the clients permitted to mount them and several export options that apply to client mounts.

 2. Each line in ‘/etc/exports’ has following syntax:
Dir [Host] (option)[….]
Dir specifies one or more mount options
Host specifies one or more mount options.

 3. If user omits host, the listed options apply to every possible client system and if options are omitted then the default mount options will be applied.

 4. Consider the sample of ‘/etc/exports’ file as follows:
a) /usr/share *.mu.ac.in(ro)
It permitsall host on mu.ac.in to mount /usr/share as read only directory.
b) ./courses/tyit 192.168.166.0/24 (rw)
It uses the address/netmask form in which the net mask is specified in classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.
c) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (rw)
It permits any host with an IP address in the range 192.168.166.0 to 192.168.166.254 to mount /home in read-write mode.
d) /projects @dev (rw)
It permits any member of NIS net group named dev to mount /projects
e) /var/spool/mail 192.168.166.12 (rw)
It permits only the host whose IP address is 192.168.166.12 to mount /var/mail
f) /opt/kde gss/krbs (ro)
Any host using RPCSEC-GSS security to mount /opt/kde in read only mode.

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...
