In this tutorial, I will show you the different ways to list mounted drives on Linux. We can use mount, findmnt, and df commands to list mounted device any Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Centos. In Linux,mount commandmounts a storage device or filesystem, and let's go through commands...
Now let’s examine ways to access the list of file systems mounted to the system. Read Contents of the/proc/mountsto Get the List of Mounted Filesystems in Linux The/proc/mountcontains a list of all the filesystems mounted on the system. We can read its contents with thecatcommand to...
To mount a USB drive in Linux, first of all, we have to find out the name of the USB device we want to mount. After we plug in a USB device, the Linux system adds a newblock devicefile into the/devdirectory. Most modern Linux distributions will populate a/dev/disk/by-labeldirectory...
Linux uses the/etc/fstabfile to save information about partitions and their properties. We need to add an entry for it in this file. Take a backup of the current file. #cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup A fstab entry has the following six fields. The following entry mounts our logical v...
init程序是Linux系统中的一个用户空间程序,与系统中的其他程序一样,你可以在/sbin目录下找到它,与许多其他系统二进制文件一起。 它的主要目的是启动和停止系统上的必要服务进程,但较新的版本有更多的责任。 There are three major implementations of init in Linux distributions: Linux发行版中有三个主要的init实现...
A mount point allows us to access the raid array. Create a mount point and add an entry in the/etc/fstabfile. The/etc/fstabfile saves information about all partitions and devices Linux mounts at the boot time. Create a directory, take a backup of the current/etc/fstabfile, and open it...
The point where the kernel starts its first user-space process, init, is significant—not just because that’s where the memory and CPU are finally r...
The kernel mounts the root filesystem. The kernel starts a program called init with a process ID of 1. This point is the user space start. init sets the rest of the system processes in motion. At some point, init starts a process allowing you to log in, usually at the end or near...
In this chapter, we’ll discuss in detail how to work with disks on a Linux system. You’ll learn how to partition disks, create and maintain the filesystems that go inside disk partitions, and work with swap space. 在第三章中,我们讨论了内核提供的一些顶层磁盘设备。 在本章中,我们将...
The commands to list services differ depending on the Linux init system. Systemd service listing usessystemctl, while System V utilizesservice. Moreover, service control tools like Upstart and OpenRC useinitctlandrc-status, respectively. In addition to listing, these commands are useful for boot-...
