One Logical Volume named lv1 is created under vg0. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 100MB. Now you required the size 500MB. Make successfully the size of that Logical Volume 500M without losing any data. As well as size should be increased online.
Answer and Explanation:
The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal-sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic definitions:
1. Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1
2. Verify the Size on mounted directory: df –h or df –h mounted directory name
3. Use : lvextend –L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1
4. ext2online –d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online.
5. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df –h command.
Some users home directory is shared from your system. Using showmount –e localhost command, the shared directory is not shown. Make access the shared users home directory.
Answer and Explanation:
1.Verify the File whether Shared or not ? : cat /etc/exports
2.Start the nfs service: service nfs start
3.Start the portmap service: service portmap start
4.Make automatically start the nfs service on next reboot: chkconfig nfs on
5.Make automatically start the portmap service on next reboot: chkconfig portmap on
6.Verify either sharing or not: showmount –e localhost
7.Check that default firewall is running on system ? if running flush the iptables using iptables –F and stop the iptables service.
Change the root Password to redtophat
Answer and Explanation:
Add a new logical partition having size 100MB and create the /data which will be the mount point for the new partition.
Answer and Explanation:
neo user tried by:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70
files created successfully. Again neo tried to create file having 70K using following command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70
But he is unable to create the file. Make the user can create the file less then 70K.
Answer and Explanation:
Very Tricky question from redhat. Actually question is giving scenario to you to implement quota to neo user. You should apply the quota to neo user on /home that neo user shouldn’t occupied space more than 70K.
1.vi /etc/fstab
2.touch /home/aquota.userCreating blank quota database file.
3.mount -o remount /home Remounting the /home with updated mount options. You can verify that /home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.
4.quotacheck -u /home Initialization the quota on /home
5.edquota –u neo /home Quota Policy editor
See the snapshot
1 Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500):
2 Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
4 /dev/mapper/vo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0
Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30.
Your system is giving error while booting on Runlevel 5 . Make successfully boot your system in runlevel 5.
Answer and Explanation: While you load the X Window System, you will get the problem. To troubleshoot follow the following steps:
1.Check the /tmp is full ?
2.Check your quota, hard limit is already crossed ?
3.Check xfs service is running ?
4.Configure the Video card, Resolution, monitor type using: system-config-display (Most Probably in Redhat exam)
5.Edit the /etc/inittab to set default runlevel 5.

There are two different networks, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Your System is in 192.168.0.0/24 Network. One RHEL 4 Installed System is going to use as a Router. All required configuration is already done on Linux Server. Where 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.1.254 IP Address are assigned on that Server. How will make successfully ping to 192.168.1.0/24 Network’s Host?
Answer and Explanation:
1.vi /etc/sysconfig/network
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
OR
vi /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.0.?
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
2.service network restart
Create the user named eric and deny to interactive login.
Answer and Explanation:
Which shell or program should start at login time is specified in /etc/passwd file. By default Redhat Enterprise Linux assigns the /bin/bash shell to the users. To deny the interactive login, you should write /sbin/nologin or /bin/false instead of login shell.
Install the Redhat Linux RHEL 4 through NFS. Where your Server is server1.example.com having IP 172.24.254.254 and shared /var/ftp/pub. The size of the partitions are listed below:
/1048
/home1028
/boot 512
/var 1028
/usr2048
Swap->1.5 of RAM Size
/dataconfigure the RAID Level 0 of remaining all free space.
After completing the installation through NFS solve the following questions. There are two networks 172.24.0.0/16 and 172.25.0.0/16. As well as there are two domains example.com on 172.24.0.0/16 network and cracker.org on 172.25.0.0/16 network. Your system is based on example.com domain.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Insert the CD on CD-ROM and start the system.
2. In Boot: Prompt type linux askmethod
3. It will display the language, keyboard selection.
4. It will ask you for the installation method.
5. Select the NFS Image from the list

Answer and Explanation:
/mnt/etc/auto.misc--timeout=50
When you mount the other filesystem, you should unmount the mounted filesystem, Automount feature of linux helps to mount at access time and after certain seconds, when user unaccess the mounted directory, automatically unmount the filesystem.
/etc/auto.master is the master configuration file for autofs service. When you start the service, it reads the mount point as defined in /etc/auto.master.
