#lvextend -L +88M /dev/vol0/home

#resize2fs /dev/vol0/home

#lvdisplay

LV REDUCE

#lvdisplay

#lvreduce -L -100M /dev/vol0/home

#mkdir /backup

#cp -rpf * /backup

#cd . .

2). Configure Quota

 dd if=/dev/zero of=myfile bs=1024 count=70

For user James where his password is “password” and message as warning
 dd if=/dev/zero of=myfile bs=1024 count=90
For user James where his password is “password” and massage as write failed user block limit
reached and disk quota exceeded.

ANS:- #vi /etc/fstab

LABEL=/dev/vol0/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquouta 1,2
 :wq!
#mount -o remount,rw /home (or) reboot
#mount
#quotacheck -CM /dev/vol0/home
#quotaon /dev/vol0/home

Ex2:- 0 70+0=70 90+0=90

#repquota -a
#su - James

5). Export your /home/share directory via NFS to the example.com domain only in runleval 3 and 5.

NOTE:- because you will not have root access, you will not be able to directly mount your
exported /home/share directory using your guest account on the system provided for testing.
The auto-mounter on the system has been configured such that it will automount your
/shared directory under /home/guest’x’/nfs/station’x’, where ‘x’ is your station number.
Consequently successful execution of is /home/guest’x’/nfs/station’x’ indicates that the
automounter was able to automount your NFS Share.

#chkconfig portmap on

#chkconfig nfs on

#service portmap restart

#service nfs restart

#vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

Workgroup = EXAMPLE
host’s allow = .example.com
[Share]
Path = /home/share
writeble = no
public = no
browseable = yes
write list = harold

#service smb restart

#smbpasswd -a harold

‘It will ask for password give it as ‘password’

“While trying to access that samba Share, as selinux is in enforcing mode it will not allow you
to login to overcome that issue run the following command”

#chcon -t samba_Share_t /home/share

#smbclient //172.24.0.x/share -U harold

Cache_peer system.example.com parent 3128 3130

11). Extend your webserver to include a Virtual host for the site http://wwwx.example.com/ where
‘X’ is your station number, then perform the following the steps:-
