Abstract

From the Publisher:

Every aspect of a network -- storage, file transfers, backup -- depends on the filesystem for structure, functionality, and integrity. Surprisingly, UNIX -- the operating system of choice for missioncritical networks -- has historically had little documentation on its filesystem structures. Written by Steve Pate, a senior member of the VERITAS Filesystems Group, this book sheds light on the inner workings of UNIX filesystems and gives you the know-how to fine-tune your UNIX filesystems for optimal performance. Pate also provides a complete implementation of the System V filesystem on Linux, as well as instructions on how to build, install, and analyze it.
