Section A: File system and Scripting.

Section A: File system and Scripting Provided that your virtualization software allows for USB device pass-through, connect a USB flash memory drive to your system. Use the appropriate commands to locate the device file used by the device, mount the filesystem to a directory of your choice, and check the filesystem for errors. Finally, add a line to /etc/fstab to ensure that the filesystem can be easily mounted in the future (this line should not automount the filesystem at boot time). You have several filesystems on your hard disk that are mounted to separate directories on the Linux directory tree. The /dev/sdc6 filesystem was unable to be mounted at boot time. What could have caused this? What commands could you use to find more information about the nature of the problem? Section B: Account Management You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts, which manage user information: You are to prepare a simple shell script, which reads a text file called n

Section A: File system and Scripting
Mount shows all devices on system
Reasons for not Mounting at Boot time;
• Parameters are incorrect in /etc/fstab
• A corrupted filesystem on /dev/hdc6
• A corrupted hard disk
Commands used to find more information about the nature of the problem;
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
sudo umount /dev/sdb2 # Note it may not be mounted and the command will say so
sudo mount -a # Attempts to mount all fstab entries. It will complain if one or more won't work

Section B: Account Management
Simple shell script, which reads a text file called newusers.txt;
#!/bin/ksh
file="/home/John John Smith/newusers.txt"
while IFS= read line
do
# display $line or do something with $line
echo "$line"
done <"$file"
Creates these users on the system without any interactive input
Script;
read usr_nameread usr_group
useradd -g $usr_group -m $usr_name
passwd $usr_name
read usr_nameread usr_group
useradd -g $usr_group -m $usr_name
passwd $usr_name

Section D: File System Management with Scripts

then
username=$(basename "$dir")
echo "chown -R $username $dir"
