UNIX
Filesystems: Evolution, Design, and Implementation
(VERITAS Series).
by Steve D. Pate ISBN:
0-471-16483-6, 443 Pages,
2003 A comprehensive look at the
principles, functionality, and implementations of
UNIX & Linux
filesystems.
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 mission-critical networks–has historically had
little documentation on its filesystem structures.

Written by Steve
Pate, a sen-ior 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.
In
addition to the author's comprehensive and practical coverage
of all aspects of filesystems, this book: - Covers the
commands and implementa-tions of all major versions of
UNIX and Linux
filesystems. - Includes case studies of three real-world
implementations of the VERITAS
Filesystem (VxFS), the
Unix File System (
UFS), and the
Linux-based ext2 and
ext3 filesystems. - Describes backup
techniques, archiving tools, and frozen image techniques used
to create stable backups. - Details how to build distributed
and clustered filesystems using Storage Area
Networks

Wiley Technology Publishing has teamed with
VERITAS Software to deliver a series
of books for the enterprise storage management community.
These titles will provide system and network administrators,
server application developers, and storage engineers with
in-depth, hands-on information on how to build scalable,
quick, and highly available storage area networks. Key books
in the series, including this one, are designed to help
CIO's make the decisions as to when and how
to embark on investing in new technology.
