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

# Create the file <code>partitions.txt</code> containing a list of all of your partitions, as displayed by the <code>fdisk</code> command.
# Create the file <code>lvm.txt</code> containing a list of your physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes.
# Change the system configuration so that each newly-created user automatically has a file named "readme.txt" in their home directory containing a welcome message.
# Extend your root filesystem by 100M.
# Create the file <code>resized-lvm.txt</code> containing a list of your physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes after the completing the previous step.
# Create the file <code>bash-files.txt</code> containing a list of all of the files that were installed as part of the <code>bash</code> RPM package.
# Create a 2MB ext3 filesystem in an image file named <code>practical-1-practice.img</code>
# Place the three <code>.txt</code> files into the ext3 filesystem that you created. Ensure that <code>root</code> owns the file <code>partitions.txt</code> and that your regular user account owns the other two files.
# Ensure that the filesystem is closed properly (think about what this means!).
# Compress the filesystem image file.
# Exchange the filesystem image file with a colleague in your class for checking.
