Here is a sample exercise for OPS235 practical test #1:

  1. Create the file partitions.txt containing a list of all of your partitions, as displayed by the fdisk command.
  2. Create the file lvm.txt containing a list of your physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes, as displayed by the appropriate LVM commands, plus the amount of space used in each filesystem.
  3. Change the system configuration so that each newly-created user account automatically has a file named "readme.txt" in their home directory containing a welcome message.
  4. Extend your root filesystem by 100M.
  5. Create the file resized-lvm.txt containing a list of your physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes, and the amount of space used in each filesystem, after completing the previous step.
  6. Create the file bash-files.txt containing a list of all of the files that were installed as part of the bash RPM package.
  7. Create a 2MB ext3 filesystem in an image file named p1-practice.img
  8. Mount that filesystem image file.
  9. Create the directory lvm-info. Place the lvm.txt and resized-lvm.txt files into that directory. Make that directory and its contents owned by root.
  10. Create the directory misc. Place the partitions.txt and bash-files.txt files into that directory. Make that directory and its contents owned by your normal user account.
  11. Unmount the filesystem (this is critically important. Why?)
  12. Compress the filesystem image file.
  13. Exchange the filesystem image file with a colleague in your class for checking.
