a. Describe
Linux directory structure : absolute pathname, relative pathname
Absolute
pathname
- Tells
about the complete path to a certain
file or directory is.
- All
absolute file names start with a slash
because the slash indicates the root directory and then followed by the
file system tree directory by directory.
- We
use the slash not only for indicating the root directory, but also for separating the directories on the path.
- This
is different from windows where we use
a backslash for separating the directories.
Relative pathname
- It
starts from the working directory.
- This
is why you need some special symbols for
indicating the relative positions in the file system.
- These
symbols are a dot (.) and two dots (..)
and they mean the working
directory and the parent
directory respectively.
b. Explain
the difference between the hierarchical structure of Windows file system and
Linux file
system and Linux file system
system and Linux file system
Windows
file system
- In
Linux there is a single hierarchical
directory structure. In Windows, there are typically many partitions with directories under
these partitions.
Linux file system
- In
Linux, everything starts from the root
directory, represented by '/', and then expands into sub-directories. In
Windows, it had various partitions and
then directories under those partitions
- Unlike
Windows, Linux is case sensitive
e. Refer
to the figure above, by login as normal user, use command to manage files and
directory.
Print screen the step involved
i.
mkdir
ii.
touch
d. In
OSOS directory it has FILE3 and FILE4. therefore, use command below to be as
situation given
i.
mv
ii.
cp
iii.
rm
iv.
rmdir
e. Create
a file named FILE5 in directory OSOS. give a command as below and discuss the
result
i.
chmod 440 FILE5
ii.
chown root FILE5
iii.
chgrp root FILE5
