Filesystems

This is an individual assignment, every member of the group needs to do this entire assignment.

In this assignment you will learn how to deal with filesystems. There are 3 raw filesystem images sitting in rigel in ~trent/class/fsys/. For each of these images you will need to go through the following steps:

• Write the filesystem onto a high-density 3.5" floppy
• Ensure the filesytem is consistent, repair it if necessary
• Mount it on your system
• Find a program called check on that filesytem and run it (as yourself, not as root).

The commands relevant to this assignment are: dd, fsck, mke2fs, mount, umount. You will probably need to read the man pages for all of these.

For this assignment, turn in the output from running the program from each filesystem. Mail this with a subject line of "FSCK assignment" to blajmi.
