Résumé

Implement the versatile file systems in Linux 2.4

Take full advantage of the new enterprise-class file systems available with the Linux 2.4 kernel. Written by Linux expert Moshe Bar, this book discusses all the important file systems available for Linux, examines their strengths and weaknesses, and explains how to use them effectively. Learn to configure the file systems for secure, efficient data management and increase system throughput significantly by tuning the file systems properly. You'll also get details on how file systems impact applications. This authoritative resource is a must-have for system and network administrators, developers, and capacity planning managers working with Linux.

Install and compile a kernel for use with various file systems, including ext2FS, UFS, UDF, HFS, and more
Take advantage of the robust Second Extended File System, ext2
Patch directories necessary for file systems not included in your distribution
Configure file systems for optimized storage and access to data
Get the most out of the Virtual File System's ability to handle system calls
Manage multiple disks and partitions with the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
Set up a RAID array using the PCI SCSI RAID controller, SCSI to SCSI RAID controller, or any supported block drive
Maximize system reliability and minimize restore time using the Journaling File System (JFS)

CD contains source code for file systems covered in the book
