  • Course introduction
  • Introduction to Open Source and Linux
  • Introduction to our labs
    • Lab T2107 - data recovery cards
  • Activities for this week
    • Set up your accounts as described on the LUX Communication page.
    • Complete the SYA710 Lab #0 and blog about the experience.
    • Lab #0 is due before midnight Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Week 2 (Sept 8) - File Systems and Logical Volume Management

  • Activities for this week
    • Complete the SYA710 Lab01 and blog about the experience.
    • Lab01 is due before midnight Wednesday, September 17, 2008
  • Concepts/Commands learned/used in this week's lecture
    • File System: A way to organize data for efficient and easy access
    • Containers: Objects (partitions, files, volumes) that hold file systems
    • Virtual File System: Allows transparent access to files on different file systems
    • Commands: mkfs, fsck, fdisk, mount, umount, e2label, resize2fs
  • Using UUIDs (universally unique identifiers)
    • 128-bit numbers make hard disk management easier
    • add UUID= entry in /etc/fstab
    • Linux file systems support UUIDs, Windows not so much
    • Commands: blkid, vol_id, uuidgen, tune2fs, findfs
  • Working with Logical Volumes (LVM)
    • Physical Volumes (eg partitions) are joined into Volume Groups
    • Logical Volumes are drawn from Volume Groups
    • Commands: pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate

Week 3 (Sept 15) - Linux Startup

  • Activities for this week
    • Complete the SYA710 Lab02 and blog about the experience.
    • Lab02 is due before midnight Wednesday, September 24, 2008
  • Concepts/Commands learned/used in this week's lecture
    • Linux Boot Process
      • Power on - Code in ROM BIOS finds and loads 1st stage loader from boot device (MBR)
      • 1st stage loader finds and loads 2nd stage loader (GRUB)
      • 2nd stage loader finds and loads Linux kernel and initial ram disk
      • kernel checks the system hardware, mounts the root device and loads the needed kernel modules
      • kernel runs init program (PID=1)
    • Init Process (System V)
      • init reads /etc/inittab to get default run level
      • init runs rc
      • rc runs runlevel scripts
    • Init Process (Upstart)
      • init gets jobs/tasks from /etc/events.d/
      • init emits startup event to start system
      • init waits for more events
      • fully compatible with System V
