# Create a new Confirm that the directory called named '''/archive'''is mounted.# You can use the '''umount''' command to unmount a file-system (eg. for maintenance purposes). Note the the name of the command is umount, <u>not</u> unmount.# Issue Make certain you are not located in the /archive directory, and issue the following commandto unmount the /archive directory: <br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">mount /dev/vdb -t ext4 umount /archive </span></code></b># Issue the '''mount''' command (without arguments) to verify that the '''lv_archive''' logical volume is mountedconfirm it has been unmounted.# Without changing to the '''/archive''', list View the contents of that directory.# Issue the file-system table /etc/fstab by issuing the following command: <br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">umount cat /etc/archive fstab</span></code></b># Issue Note the line that automatically mounts a file-system (''/dev/sda3'', type 'mount'ext4'' command ) to verify that lv_archive logical volume has been unmounted'''/archive'''.# Although This was automatically performed for you might have been successful unvia the '''system-mounting the lv_archive logical volume, can you think of any reasons why you might not be able to unconfig-mount that logical volume? lvm''' utility.# Quickly view View and record the tutorial about fields for the <b>[http:'''//man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/fstab.5.html /etc/fstab]</b> file to understand the purpose of this file archive''' mount in your lab logbook, and the major elements contain in this file.# Issue then issue the following commandto reconnect or mount '''/archive''': <br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">echo "mount &nbsp; -t ext4 &nbsp; /dev/vdb ''name_of_volumegroup'/archive ext4 defaults 1 1" >> &nbsp; /etc/fstabarchive</span></code></b># Confirm that those contents this file-system has been properly mounted.

Confirm by rebooting your VM prevent regular users from logging in), but were forced to see if login as a regular user, then open a terminal and su into '''root'/archive'', then we wouldn' is mountedt be able to unmount /home, since we are still logged in! How can we as a Linux System Administrator get around the problem (hint: you already learned it somewhere in lab3!!! Wow, using what we already taught can pay-off in the future ... lol!).
