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: _____________________________________ 2nd COMMAND: _____________________________________ 3rd COMMAND: _____________________________________ 4th COMMAND: _____________________________________ 5th COMMAND: _____________________________________
2. Describe the process of use LVM to extent a partition
1st COMMAND: fdisk /dev/sdb # create two partitions sdb1 and sdb2
2nd COMMAND: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1; mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb2
3rd COMMAND: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
4th COMMAND: vgcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
