    Mounting a Filesystem Directory Structure Fstab Mount command CST8207 - Algonquin College 2 Chapter 12: page 467 - 496 CST8207 - Algonquin College 3 The mount utility connects filesystems to the Linux directory hierarchy. The mount point is a directory in the local filesystem where you can access mounted filesystem. This directory must exist before you can mount a filesystem. All filesystems visible on the system exist as a mounted filesystem someplace below the root (/) directory CST8207 - Algonquin College 4 can be mounted manually ◦ can be listed in /etc/fstab, but not necessary ◦ all mounting information supplied manually at command line by user or administrator can be mounted automatically on startup ◦ must be listed /etc/fstab, with all appropriate information and options required Every filesystem, drive, storage device is listed as a mounted filesystem associated to a directory someplace under the root (/) directory CST8207 - Algonquin College 5 CST8207 - Algonquin College 6 Benefits Scalable ◦ As new drives are added and new partitions are created, further filesystems can be mounted at various mount points as required. ◦ This means a Linux system does not need to worry about running out of disk space. Transparent ◦ No application would stop working if transferred to a different partition, because access to data is done via the mount point. ◦ Also transparent to user CST8207 - Algonquin College 7 All known filesystems volumes are typically listed in the /etc/fstab (static information about filesystem) file to help automate the mounting process If it is not listed in the /etc/fstab file, then all appropriate information about the filesystem needs to be listed manually at the command line.

  • Bash Tutorial
    Bash Shell Lecturer: Prof. Andrzej (AJ) Bieszczad Email: [email protected] Phone: 818-677-4954 Bash Shell The shell of Linux • Linux has a variety of different shells: – Bourne shell (sh), C shell (csh), Korn shell (ksh), TC shell (tcsh), Bour ne Again shell (bash). • Certainly the most popular shell is “bash”. Bash is an sh- compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). • It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. • It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. Bash Shell Programming or Scripting ? • bash is not only an excellent command line shell, but a scripting language in itself. Shell scripting allows us to use the shell's abilities and to automate a lot of tasks that would otherwise require a lot of commands. • Difference between programming and scripting languages: – Programming languages are generally a lot more powerful and a lot faster than scriptin g languages. Programming languages generally start from source code and are compil ed into an executable. This executable is not easily ported into different operating syste ms. – A scripting language also starts from source code, but is not compiled into an executabl e. Rather, an interpreter reads the instructions in the source file and executes each inst ruction. Interpreted programs are generally slower than compiled programs. The main a dvantage is that you can easily port the source file to any operating system. bash is a s cripting language. Other examples of scripting languages are Perl, Lisp, and Tcl.

  • Freebsd Command Reference
    FreeBSD command reference Command structure Each line you type at the Unix shell consists of a command optionally followed by some arguments , e.g. ls -l /etc/passwd | | | cmd arg1 arg2 Almost all commands are just programs in the filesystem, e.g. "ls" is actually /bin/ls. A few are built- in to the shell. All commands and filenames are case-sensitive. Unless told otherwise, the command will run in the "foreground" - that is, you won't be returned to the shell prompt until it has finished. You can press Ctrl + C to terminate it.

  • Chapter 8: Disks and Filesystems
    8 D I S K S A N D F I L ESYSTEMS Oh, my head hurts bad. Rings of ones and zeros, ouch! Filesystems hide them. Proper data management is perhaps a sys- tems administrator’s most vital duty. You can replace almost every computer compo- nent, but the data on your disk is irreplace- able. Perhaps that data isn’t important or it’s backed up, but losing files will ruin your day. As a sysadmin, you must protect important data by carefully manag- ing your disks and filesystems. We covered the basics of disklabels and MBR partitions in Chapter 2, but OpenBSD lets you use and abuse disks and filesystems in any number of ways. You’ll learn how in this chapter. !"#$%&'()*+(,-./0)1,2)(23'3$,) 415670)839:;(%)<=)>&9;# Device Nodes A device node is a file that provides a logical interface to a piece of hardware. By reading from a device node, sending data to it, or using a command on it, you’re telling the operating system to perform an action on a piece of hardware or, in some cases, a logical device. Different devices behave differently when data is sent to them. For example, writing to the console makes text appear on the screen or termi- nal, while writing to a disk device puts data on that disk. (OpenBSD puts device nodes in /dev and disallows device nodes on other filesystems.) Many disk management programs expect to be given a device name as an argument. Unfortunately, device node names are frequently cryptic and vary widely among operating systems—even on closely related operat- ing systems that run on the same hardware.

  • Regular Expressions Regular Expressions Regular Expression Examples Textbook Time
    Regular Expressions Is a special text string for describing a search pattern. You can think of regular expressions as wildcards on steroids. You are probably familiar with wildcard notations such as *.txt to find all text files in a file manager. Essentially allows us to find a pattern in a string. Regexes are widely supported in many programming languages including Java, Python, C++, Perl, Javascript, and PHP. It is also supported in text processing programs advanced text editors, and some other programs. Regular Expressions Here are SOME of the main rules: Text: . Any single character [chars] Character class: Any character of the class ``chars'' [^chars] Character class: Not a character of the class ``chars'' text1|text2 Alternative: text1 or text2 Quantifiers: ? 0 or 1 occurrences of the preceding text * 0 or N occurrences of the preceding text (N > 0) + 1 or N occurrences of the preceding text (N > 1) Grouping: (text) Grouping of text (used either to set the borders of an alternative as above, or to make backreferences, where the Nth group can be referred to on the RHS of a RewriteRule as $N) Anchors: ^ Start-of-line anchor $ End-of-line anchor Regular Expression examples I will use grep to demonstrate, but there are other programs that could be used. egrep aa /usr/share/dict/words #find all words with an ‘aa’ in it. The basic syntax is grep regex file . Below I will just write the regex. ^aa words that start with an ‘aa’ aa$ words that end with ‘aa’ Textbook Time Check out the following Tutorial: This is a great tutorial to complete WES-19 Regular Expressions More Optional Reading Grep and Regex Grep vs Egrep Here is a chart of some basic regex combinations Sed Stands for ‘stream editor’ which allows us to filter and transform text.
