Example Midterm Test Questions
1. List the 5 steps (exact commands) you would enter in order to format an ext3 file system on hard drive partition /dev/sdb2, label it BACKUP, set its maximum mount count to 50, check it for errors and mount it on directory /mnt. You should assume the mount point and the hard drive partition already exist and that the partition has never been formatted. [ Each command is worth one mark. ] 1st COMMAND: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2 2nd COMMAND: e2label /dev/sdb2 BACKUP 3rd COMMAND: tune2fs -c 50 /dev/sdb2 4th COMMAND: e2fsck -ycfv /dev/sdb2 5th COMMAND: mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
2. Describe the process to create two partitions, physical volume, volume group, filesystem, label it, extent the volume group and logical volume and then resize the filesystem. 1st COMMAND: fdisk /dev/sdb 2nd COMMAND: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 3rd COMMAND: vgcreate /dev/sdb1 4th COMMAND: lvcreate -n home --size 500M seneca 5th COMMAND: mkfs.ext3 /dev/seneca/home 6th COMMAND: mount /dev/seneca/home /mnt 7th COMMAND: e2label /dev/seneca/home myhome 8th COMMAND: vgextend seneca /dev/sda2 9th COMMAND: lvextend -L+1G /dev/seneca/home 10th COMMAND: resize2fs /dev/seneca/home
3. Steps to compile the linux kernel 1st make mrproper 2nd make oldconfig 3rd make menuconfig 4th make 5th make modules_install
PS: now we don't use make modules anymore, I saw a guy using "make rpm" instead of using only "make"
