Step 1 ) To Create the partitions [root@client1 ~]# fdisk -l [root@client1 ~]# fdisk /dev/hda Partitions Command (m for help): m d delete a partition m print this menu n add a new partition p print the partition table q quit without saving changes w write table to disk and exit Command (m for help): Command (m for help): n First cylinder (1098-2434, default 1098): Using default value 1098 Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (1098-2434, default 2434): +100M Command (m for help): p Command (m for help): n Command (m for help): p Command (m for help): n Command (m for help): p Command (m for help): d Command (m for help): 10 #write the number of partition Command (m for help): w [root@client1 ~]# To update the kernel without restarting [root@client1 ~]# partprobe /dev/hda [root@client1 ~]# fdisk -l Step 2 ) Make the filesystem ( i.e format the partition) ext2, ext3, vfat [root@client1 ~]# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda8 [root@client1 ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda9 [root@client1 ~]# mkfs.vfat /dev/hda10 23

Step 3 ) Create a folder & Mount the partition to use [root@client1 ~]# mkdir /mnt/song /mnt/video /mnt/music [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/song [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/video [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/hda10 /mnt/music [root@client1 ~]# mount Step 4 ) Write the data inside the partition [root@client1 ~]# cd /mnt/song [root@client1 song]# [root@client1 song]# touch myfile1 myfile2 myfile3 [root@client1 song]# mkdir hyd sec bhills ameerpet [root@client1 song]# ls ***************** This is the output ******************** ameerpet bhills hyd lost+found myfile1 myfile2 myfile3 sec [root@client1 myfolder]# Converting from ext3 to ext2 [root@client1 ~]# umount /dev/hda8 [root@client1 ~]# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda8 [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/hda8 /myfolder/ [root@client1 ~]# mount Convert from ext2 to ext3 [root@client1 ~]# umount /dev/hda8 [root@client1 ~]# tune2fs -j /dev/hda8 [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/hda8 /myfolder [root@client1 ~]# mount 24

Creating a Swap Partition Step 1 ) Create the required partition (say 9 partition) [root@client1 ~]# fdisk -l [root@client1 ~]# fdisk /dev/hda :p :n :t { to change the partition ID} :82 { for swap partition } :w { save & exit } [root@client1 ~]# [root@client1 ~]# partprobe /dev/hda [root@client1 ~]# fdisk l Step 2 ) Make the partition as swap [root@client1 ~]# mkswap /dev/hda9 To see the status [root@client1 ~]# swapon s To on the swap partition [root@client1 ~]# swapon /dev/hda9 Again see the status [root@client1 ~]# swapon -s To put Off the swap partition [root@client1 ~]# swapoff /dev/hda9 [root@client1 ~]# swapon s 25

LABELS To check the label [root@client1 ~]# e2label /dev/hda8 To assign the labels [root@client1 ~]# e2label /dev/hda8 linux [root@client1 ~]# e2label /dev/hda8 linux Permanent Mounting Mounting the partition /dev/hda9 parmanently [root@client1 ~]# vi /etc/fstab LABEL=linux /myfolder ext3 defaults 0 0 :wq [root@client1 ~]# mount [root@client1 ~]# mount -a [root@client1 ~]# mount Mounting the cdrom [root@client1 ~]# mkdir /media/cdrom [root@client1 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom To see the disk space [root@client1 ~]# df -h To see the block size. [root@client1 ~]# blockdev --getbsz /dev/hda8 1024 [root@client1 ~]# blockdev --getbsz /dev/hda3 4096 26

Apply Quota on users & Group Create required users & Group [root@server ~]# useradd tom [root@server ~]# groupadd salesgrp [root@server ~]# groupadd fingrp [root@server ~]# mkdir /salesdept User and Group Quotas [root@server ~]# useradd -g salesgrp sai [root@server ~]# useradd -g salesgrp ram [root@server ~]# useradd -G fingrp tata [root@server ~]# useradd -G fingrp birla Step 1 ) Create a required partition [root@server ~]# fdisk -l [root@server ~]# fdisk /dev/hda :n :w [root@server ~]# partprobe /dev/hda [root@server ~]# mkdir /salesdept [root@server ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda9 Step 2) Mount the partition with user & group quota parameters. [root@server ~]# mount -o usrquota,grpquota /dev/hda9 /salesdept [root@server ~]# mount [root@server ~]# chmod 777 /salesdept/ Step 3 ) Create the Quota Database file [root@server ~]# quotacheck -cugv /salesdept/ [root@server ~]# ls /salesdept/ aquota.group aquota.user lost+found 27

Step 4) Check the quota Status [root@server ~]# quotaon -p /dev/hda9 group quota on /salesdept (/dev/hda9) is off user quota on /salesdept (/dev/hda9) is off Step 5 ) Enable the quota partition [root@server ~]# quotaon /dev/hda9 [root@server ~]# quotaon -p /dev/hda9 group quota on /salesdept (/dev/hda9) is on user quota on /salesdept (/dev/hda9) is on Step 6 ) Apply quota on a user tom [root@server ~]# edquota -u tom Disk quotas for user tom (uid 500): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/hda9 0 0 0 0 3 5 :wq [root@server ~]# su - tom [tom@server ~]$ cd /salesdept/ [tom@server salesdept]$ ll [tom@server salesdept]$ touch tfa [tom@server salesdept]$ touch tfb [tom@server salesdept]$ touch tfc [tom@server salesdept]$ touch tfd hda9: warning, user file quota exceeded. [tom@server salesdept]$ mkdir tda [tom@server salesdept]$ mkdir tdb hda9: write failed, user file limit reached. mkdir: cannot create directory `tdb': Disk quota exceeded 28

Step 7 ) Apply quota on a group salesgrp who has primary members as sai & ram [root@server ~]# edquota -g salesgrp [root@server ~]# edquota -g salesgrp Disk quotas for group salesgrp (gid 501): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/hda9 0 0 0 5 3 5 :wq! [root@server ~]# cd /salesdept/ [root@server salesdept]# su sai [sai@server salesdept]$ groups salesgrp [sai@server salesdept]$ touch sai1 sai2 sai3 [sai@server salesdept]$ exit exit [root@server salesdept]# su ram [ram@server salesdept]$ groups salesgrp [ram@server salesdept]$ touch ram1 hda9: warning, group file quota exceeded. [ram@server salesdept]$ touch ram3 [ram@server salesdept]$ touch ram4 hda9: write failed, group file limit reached. touch: cannot touch `ram4': Disk quota exceeded [ram@server salesdept]$ ll total 36 -rw------- 1 root root -rw------- 1 root root drwx------ 2 root root -rw-r--r-- 1 ram salesgrp -rw-r--r-- 1 ram salesgrp -rw-r--r-- 1 sai salesgrp -rw-r--r-- 1 sai salesgrp -rw-r--r-- 1 sai salesgrp 7168 Jul 15 01:52 aquota.group 7168 Jul 15 01:53 aquota.user 16384 Jul 15 01:38 lost+found 0 Jul 15 01:53 ram1 0 Jul 15 01:53 ram3 0 Jul 15 01:53 sai1 0 Jul 15 01:53 sai2 0 Jul 15 01:53 sai3 [ram@server salesdept]$ Note : Quotas are not applicable on secondary group members 29

Access Control List Create required users & Group [root@server ~]# useradd tom [root@server ~]# groupadd salesgrp [root@server ~]# groupadd fingrp [root@server ~]# mkdir /salesdept [root@server ~]# useradd -g salesgrp sai [root@server ~]# useradd -g salesgrp ram [root@server ~]# useradd -G fingrp tata [root@server ~]# useradd -G fingrp birla Note: Acl's are applied on both primary & secondary members Step 1 ) Create a required partition [root@server ~]# fdisk -l [root@server ~]# fdisk /dev/hda :n :w [root@server ~]# partprobe /dev/hda [root@server ~]# mkdir /salesdept [root@server ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda9 Step 2) Mount the partition with ACLs parameters.
