Sample text
I think it is time that we investigate this a little further. When a new directory is created, it is initiated with the link count being equal to two; in other words, each new directory has to have two names that point to it. This will consist of the directory name and the file named . (just the period by itself). In fact, in a new directory, there are always two new files that are created along with the directory: the . and .. files. • The . file represents the directory itself • The .. file represents the parent directory [ 34 ] Chapter 3 Try this yourself; it is easier to understand and might prevent you from going too dotty over this: $ cd $ mkdir newdir $ ls -a newdir #Note the two files $ ls -ld newdir # Note the hard link count of 2 The following screenshot shows the new directory and the listing of the two hidden files therein.
Expanding a BTRFS filesystem We may well be running out of space within the /data structure; we are not but we can imagine. If we were using an LVM structure, we would have to run several commands to expand the existing filesystem across a new partition or disk. This would be the process in LVMs: Volume management in the old way requires us to execute the following commands: # pvcreate /dev/sdb6 # vgextend vg1 /dev/sdb6 # lvextend -L+1000M /dev/vg1/data_lv # resize2fs /dev/vg1/data Volume management with BTRFS As we can see, there are four commands to be executed, all with a generous sprinkling of syntax that will try to trip us up.
Using the ls command with the option for the long listing, -l, will display the hard link count. The option, -i, will display the inode number of the file. The inode number of both files will be the same. As hard links share the same inode number, the source and target file must be on the same filesystem. An inode is an entry within a single filesystem. Symbolic links Symbolic links, or soft links as they are sometimes referred to, are completely separate files whose data points to another filename; as such, they can cross the filesystem boundaries and be a little more useful than hard links.
