Q

encrypting a filesystem mounted on a specific directory

A 
You need the dm_crypt module
#lsmod | grep dm_cryptif you don't see an output regarding dm_crypt run:
#modprobe dm_cryptYou'll need to install the cryptsetup-luks RPM package
#yum install cryptsetup
50
Q

Create a LUKS-based filesystem with cryptsetup

A 
#cryptsetup luksformat /dev/sda1 -> 
first create a passphrase-
 once the partition is encrypted, it can't be read. Before you can format it, it must be mapped
First you need the UUID of the device. This command creates a UUID for the newly encrypted /dev/sda1 device:
#cryptsetup luksUUID /dev/sda1  -> generates a UUID
#cryptsetup luksopen /dev/sda  uuid number- the mapped device should now appear in the /dev/mapper directory(instead of using a UUID you can use a word like test, unless required in the exam)
51
Q

find the UUID associated with a particular encrypted filesystem

A 
#dumpe2fs /dev/mapper/test | grep UUID
You can also use the blkld command to get the UUID
52
Q

mounting a luks formatted filesystem

A 
If the LUKS formatted filesystem /dev/mapper/test is to be mounted on the directory named /shared, you could add the following lines in /etc/cryptttab:shared /dev/mapper/test   noneshared  UUID=uuidnumber none-You can verify how partitions are actually mounted in the /etc/mtab
#cat /etc/mtab
53
Q

description of entries in /etc/fstab example

A

Either 0 or 1. A value of 1 means that data is automatically saved to disk by the dump command when you exit Linux

55
Q

filesystem check order

A

Determines the order that filesystems are checked by fsck command during the boot process. The root directory(/) should be set to 1, and other local filesystems should be set to 2. Removable filesystems such as those associated with CD/DVD devices should be set to 0, which means they are not checked during the Linux boot process

56
Q

List of virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab

A

tmpfs - a virtual memory filesystem that uses both RAM & swap space
devpts - filesystem relates to Pseudo - terminal devices
sysfs - filesystem provides dynamic info about system devices. Explore the associated /sys directory
