Linux Filesystems

From the Publisher: High-performance, high-availability journaling and distributed filesystems are one of the most exciting areas of Linux today. This book provides a thorough explanation of the underlying concepts behind these types of filesystems and gives complete, hands-on instructions for building, installing, using, and administering journaling and distributed filesystems on computers running Linux. Beyond simply discussing advanced filesystems on Linux, this book also explains how to install interoperability software that lets Linux systems share data with networked Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Novell NetWare systems. It also includes procedural, hands-on information on related technologies such as Logical Volume Management and networked backup systems, and discusses how to use all of these to maximize the power, flexibility, and viability of Linux in enterprise computing environments.
