Topic : File Types

well I read some where that NTFS was designed taking a point out from the Linux/Unix file system. Is it right?

And what are the advantages of Hierarchical File System(HFS) and the NTFS. Also how different is the security issue on both the file systems.

A disk file system is a way to store files on a disk, USB, DVD, netowrk, etc. There are many different file system types and different types are used by different operating systems. If you get on a Linux system and use the l option you will see that Linux can provide many different options including Microsoft formats.



It is important to understand that the features and purpose of each file system could be completely different. For example the file system you would want to use on a Flash disk could be very different from what you would want on a hard disk because the Flash disk has limited writes.

Currently Microsoft is using NTFS, New Technology file System, which is designed to enhance performance, security, reliability and disk space utilization over FAT, the file system used before. It also provides ACLS or access control lists to allow different users rights to the same file.

Linux is currently moving toward ext4 which is a file system that is designed to be a journaling system to help in rebuilding the system if there is a crash. It also has performance enhancements and the ability for much larger volumes. Here is an article on ext4:

http://beginlinux.com/server_training/8-ubuntuadmin/1255-crash-testing-ext4-on-ubuntu

In a nutshell, file systems are ways that operating systems store files, the exact file system of choice often changes as file systems store more data and are choices by the OS.

Once bind is installed look in the /etc/bind directory for the files you will need to configure. With Ubuntu the files are all broken into smaller files so you will need to edit multiple files here.

/etc/bind/named.conf

This file has three includes: these are connections to other files.
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

You will need to create zone files for each domain, both a forward and a reverse zone.

How are you going to use this...business, home, etc.

The reason I ask is for security options that you may have to put in place as well.

Apparently Ubuntu 9.10 install bind 9.6.1 by default while the new version of Ubuntu will have version 9.7 as the default.

The default version for bind installs with a simple:

apt-get install bind9

Topic : Hi i'm new to dns on ubuntu

I set up an Ubuntu 9.10 server and followed these steps after downloading the bind 9.7. Note that OpenSSL was installed and gcc was installed. However, the install failed because of a bug. Now looking into that the isc site does not list Ubuntu as a distribution that it has been compiled on. Also research showed no solutions initially to resolving the bug. Therefore at this point some solution to the bug is the first issue...still researching.

mv bind* /usr/rc

tar zxvf bind*

cd /usr/src/bind-9.7.0

apt-get install gcc

./configure

checking for OpenSSL library... configure: error: OpenSSL was not found in any of /usr /usr/local /usr/local/ssl /usr/pkg /usr/sfw; use --with-openssl=/path
If you don't want OpenSSL, use --without-openssl

apt-get install openssl

./configure --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl

checking for OpenSSL library... configure: error: "/usr/bin/openssl/include/openssl/opensslv.h" not found

2550. [bug] Check --with-openssl=<path> finds <openssl/opensslv.h>.

Topic : Hi i'm new to dns on ubuntu

So let's get some info so we can help. Are you going to compile bind? Or are you going to use the Ubuntu repository?

Are you setting up on a dedicated server, a VPS or home server?

Are you using Ubuntu 9.10 for the server?

What else are you going to put on the server?

Topic : Site Update in Progress

We are in the process of rebuilding the entire site: BeginLinux.com and make it easier to navigate and find the resources you need. The first major change was a new menu and structure helping people follow a Path to find information that relates to them. We also are going to rebuild the blog and tie it into the main site.

You may see things in process and find issues with things not working at some points as we make the changes.
