In Linux or any other UNIX-based operating system, the home directory is special file system directory that stores personal data of a particular user. Only the given user has authorization to access home directory.
Hi and sorry for not googling myself, im in a hurry.
So due to the fact that a friend of mine had 32bit version of ubuntu installed on 64bit archidecure i had to reinstall the system. Fortunately it had the root mounted in one partition and /home mounted to another, it was easy to reinstall the system and leave the user data untouched.
Anyway.
My hard disk is separated into 3 parts.
1. system
2. home (my stuff, work and such)
3. swap
The original idea is that i can reinstall and/or configure and/or experiment with the system without affecting my own data. Or possibly overwrite ubuntu with another distro (i.e. mint) while still keeping my "home" intact.
Linux partitions are basically of three types: swap, root, and home. The swap partition is used for Linux swap space, root partition for Linux and the installed applications, and home partitions for holding /home directory i.e. data. When it comes to data accessibility, the latter two partitions are comparatively more vital for uninterrupted data access.
When there is no .zshrc file in a user's home directory and zsh is started, an interactive configuration utility is run instead of directly giving access to the shell prompt.
I set up zsh to be the default shell on my Debian Wheezy systems. Therefore every newly created user gets zsh as login shell if I do not change that manually.
Superblock is one of the most common component of metadata structure in ext2 file system. It saves critical information which is used by the file system manager to systematically manage the file system. Corruption in superblock can occur due to improper system shutdown, file system corruption, virus attack, and human errors. The system becomes unbootable once the superblock is corrupt.
I set the home directoy for one of my users to be on an NTFS partiton so that it is accessible from Windows. I'm the only one who uses the computer so I set fuse to allow 777 permissions to that partition.
I want to do something that would make my life easier.
Problem:
1. I use OpenSUSE as my main OS for over 2 years now. BUT I like playing with a flavor of the month OS.
2. Virtual OS installs are not my cup of tea. a) You don't get a "true" feeling for the OS without it being installed on metal. b) I have a OLD cpu and virtual anything is painfully slow.
Suppose there are many users in a Linux cluster, each of them has his own HOME directory under /home/xxx, with xxx being his user name (or account). If the initial system configuration allows these users to visit any of these home directories besides their own, is there any way for a user to know who visited his home folder?
any answer would be appreciated?
