How to use Automount services?

By
70.How to use Automount services?
Ans.
1. autofs is used for automatic mounting of NFS exports when the file system is first accessed.

 2. autofs uses the automount daemon to mount and unmount.

 3. autofs uses a set of map files to control automounting.

 4. The master map file i.e. /etc/auto.master, associates mount points with the secondary map files.
The secondary map files in turn control the file system mounted under the corresponding mount points.
For example consider the following
/etc/auto.master autofs configuration file:
 /media /etc/auto.home
/var /etc/auto.var -timeout 600
This file associates the secondary map file /etc/auto.home with the mount point /home and the map file /etc/auto.var with the /var mount point

 5. Each entry in /etc/auto.master, refer to as master map files, and consist of at least two and possibly 3 fields:
1st field is the mount point.
2nd field identifies the full path to the secondary map file that controls the map point.
3rd field is optional, consist of options that control the behavior of the automount daemon.

 6. The secondary map files defines the mount options that apply to the file system mounted under the corresponding directory.

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...
