Week Eight Agenda Announcements: Everyone should have a grade recorded for the midterm exam. If not, please me. The final exam is worth 200 points. It covers more information and has more questions. The final exam is not compressive. Only about percent of the material from the midterm exam will be on the final exam. Sign up for your open source topic and me the week you would like to do your presentation on.

Week Seven Question How can the inode attributes be displayed? There is a good deal of information about individual files on a UNIX system. One way to display this information is through a Perl script. The Perl stat command is used to access thirteen pieces of information about a file through a script. ($dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid, $rdev, $size, $atime, $mtime, $ctime, $blksize, $blocks) = stat ( $fileattributes);

Week Seven Question $dev – device number of the filesystem (0) $ino – inode number (1) $mode – file mode (permissions) (2) $nlink – number hard links (3) $uid – user ID of file’s owner (4) $gid – group ID of file’s owner (5) $rdev – device identifier (6) $size – total size of file (7) $atime – last access time in seconds since epoch (8) $mtime – last modified time in seconds since epoch (9) $ctime – inode change time in seconds since epoch (10) $blksize – block size for file syatem (I/O) (11) $blocks – actual number of blocks allocated (12)

Week Seven Question Single file attribute (permissions): $mode=(stat($fileattributes))[2]; Single file attribute (date) and ($fileattrabutes); print “$date[4]\n”; Perl module : use File::stat

Review week seven lab assignment Define: Data structure is where information is stored/collected in one place. The stored information may or may not be related. Data structures are unique in their construction so as to deliver a specific usage. Commonly data structures are arrays, hash tables, stacks, and queues.

Review week seven lab assignment The inode data structure. Use ls –i command to display attributes. file mode – file permissions (rwx) count of hard links – how many hard links point to the inode file type – executable, block special owner id group id time of last file access - timestamp time of last file modification - timestamp file size - bytes file addresses – addresses of the blocks of storage containing the files data on a HDD

Review week seven lab assignment

The directory maps file names to inodes. Each file has one inode. The number of inodes is a kernel parameter value set manually or dynamically by the operating system. Each file may have more than one directory entry. Inodes contain a list of disk block addresses. All inodes are data structures

Review week seven lab assignment

When there are multiple hard links, more directory entries point to the same inode or file name. An inode can only hold a fixed number of direct data block addresses (10 for Linux). Large files use indirect block addresses. The inode keeps a count of the number of hard links that point to it. Deleting a file deletes an entry from a directory. If the number of hard links is 1, removing or deleting this file will also delete the inode.

Review week seven lab assignment Define: A physical link (hard) refers to the specific location of physical data. Command: ln ln test_file_1 test_file_1_hard_link -rwx dandrear faculty 20 Oct 21 11:37 test_file_1 -rwx dandrear faculty 20 Oct 21 11:37 test_file_1_hard_link

Review week seven lab assignment

Define: A symbolic link is a link to a directory or to a file in a different file system. A symbolic path indicates the abstract location of another file. Command: ln –s ln –s test.txt test_symbolic_link -rwx dandrear faculty 20 Sep 4 16:44 test.txt lrwxrwxrwx 1 dandrear faculty 8 Oct 18 19:31 test_symbolic_link -> test.txt

Review week seven lab assignment Installing the software package Package FreeBSD Port Usually, the source files are packaged in a compressed archive file (.tar.gz). After downloading, the.tar.gz file, use the tar tool to uncompress the un-package the source files.

Review week seven lab assignment Definition: Installation of computer programs. Installation process: - Condensed package - Unpack package - Customize package - Test the functionality of the system - Configure files

Review week seven lab assignment Two choices for installing a project 1. Install binaries from a package called “rpm” in Red Hat. rpm checks for dependencies and conflicts with other installed packages on the system.

Review week seven lab assignment 2. Install from source code Allows for custom installations Allows for code modifications Optimum compilation for target platform

Review week seven lab assignment The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, and the like. There is also a library API, permitting advanced developers to manage such transactions from programming languages such as C or Python.

Review week seven lab assignment rpm is a tool rpm –q sloccount (query to see if tool exists) If the tool isn’t on your system, create a directory named sloccount Download name sloccount i386.rpm rpm –vUh sloccount i386.rpm (install tool) See the man page regarding the rpm tool

Review week seven lab assignment Software Installation of UNIX/Linux typically go something like this: Download the software, which might be distributed in source code format, or as a binary. Unpack the software from its distribution format (typically a tarball compressed with compress, gzip, or bzip2 Locate the documentation (perhaps an INSTALL or README file, or some files in a doc/ subdirectory) and read up on how to install the software. If the software was distributed in source format, compile it. This may involve editing a makefile, or running a configure script, and other work. Test and install the software.

Review week seven lab assignment Software releases Interfaces – normally remain the constant. Implementations – actual fixes Behaviors – system changes from one implementation to another

Review week seven lab assignment Kernel is the central component of most operating systems. It’s responsibility is to manage the system’s resources and communicate between the hardware and software. Kernel space is allocated for the kernel. Users aren’t able to access this area. Kernel space is generally larger than user space. User space is a memory area where all user mode applications are performed. This memory area is swappable if necessary.

Review week seven lab assignment UNIX/Linux Turnable Parameters Number of users on a system Maximum database size Number of global buffers Number of semaphores (e.g. train track) Set shared memory allocation Display: Kernel Tunable Parameters are located under the /proc/sys directory.

Review week seven lab assignment Buffer cache Amount of memory used to transfer a file system data structure such as inodes, direct blocks, indirect blocks, and cylinder groups. Initially, you want to set up the buffer cache large enough to handle an inode data structure.

Week eighth expected outcomes Upon successful completion of this module (weeks 6, 7, and 8), the student will be able to: Create make file scripts for software programs. Use pattern rules in make files. Create an effective PowerPoint presentation. Create make files with multiple targets. Install software packages on a server.

Next Lab Assignment fsck fsck is used to check and optionally repair one or more Linux file systems. If no filesystems are specified on the command line, and the -A option is not specified, fsck will default to checking filesystems in /etc/fstab serial. fsck -A Walk through the /etc/fstab file and tries to check all file systems in one run. This option is typically used by the /etc/rc system initialization file, instead of trying to use multiple commands for checking a single file system.

Next Lab Assignment The exit code returned by fsck is the sum of the following conditions: 0 - No errors 1 - File system errors corrected 2 - System should be rebooted 4 - File system errors left uncorrected 8 - Operational error 16 - Usage or syntax error 32 - fsck canceled by user request Shared library error
