List and explain all the status files in NFS.

By
64.List and explain all the status files in NFS.
Ans.
1. /var/lib/nfs.rmtab – It list each NFS export that is mounted by an NFS client. It uses the Daemon rpc.mountd since it is responsible for servicing the request to mount NFS exports.
Whenever , rpc.mounted daemon receives request, it adds an entry into /var/lib/nfs/rmtab. The same goes for unmounts request but in that case entry is removed from status file.

 2. /var/lib/nfs/etab – It contains list of currently exported filesystem, the exportfs command maintains the entries in this file.

 3. These three scripts which are initialized and controls the required NFS server daemons /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock

 4. The portmap scripts starts the portmap daemon also called as portmapper. All programs that uses RPC, such as NIS and NFS, depends on the information the portmapper provides.

 5. The primary NFS startup script is /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs, It requires single argument. E.g. start, stop, restart or reloaded. These commands are executed as follows:
#service nfs status
#service nfs stop
#service nfs start
#service nfs restart
#service nfs reload

 6. NFS service also requires the file locking daemons lockd and statd. Lockd is started automatically but statd is started separately. To carry out this process initialization script can also be useful i.e. /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock

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...
