File system refers to the files and directories stored on a computer. A file system can have different formats called file system types. These formats determine how the information is stored as files and directories. Some file system types store redundant copies of the data, while some file system types make hard drive access faster. This part discusses the ext3, swap, RAID, and LVM file system types. It also discusses the parted utility to manage partitions and access control lists (ACLs) to customize file permissions. | Deployment Guide Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment_Guide ISBN: N/A Publication date: January 2008 Deployment Guide This Deployment Guide documents relevant information regarding the deployment, configuration and administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Copyright © You need to override this in your local ent file Red Hat, Inc.
