57.What are the advantages of Network file system (NFS)?
Ans.
1. NFS provides centralized control maintenance and administration.

 2. It is easier to back up a file system stored on a single server than to backup files scattered across a network.

 3. NFS provide access to shared disk space or limit access to sensitive data.

 4. When NFS and NIS are used together, system wide configuration files can be modified instantly without visiting every machine.

 5. NFS can conserve disk space and prevent duplication of resources.

 6. When NFS is combined with NIS, users can also log in from any system, even remotely still have access to their home directories.

 7. Users can protect sensitive information that would be time consuming to recreate by storing it on NFS mounted file system.

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...
