Summary

This concludes the discussion of local file systems. Chapter 16 discusses disk devices in detail. Although this topic is covered on the Part II exam, I recommend reviewing that chapter for a detailed description of the various device configurations that make up file systems. In Chapter 17, "Networking," and Chapter 18, "The NFS Environment," I discuss how to share file systems with other hosts on the network. The next chapter discusses system security and describes how to protect your systems and the data on them.
