Should be Introduction to Unix and Linux file systems
Well Thought Out Text and Support Materials Instead of teaching how to accomplish the basics in class, I can help the students explore more advanced questions.They master the skills interacting with the system guided by this text. Students who were afraid of computer science are succeeding with this guide and are returning for more. Advanced students quickly master a thorough foundation.

Editorial Review Product Description In the wake of the highly successful Sams Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours, this book focuses on the additional Unix commands that an advanced user or beginning system administrator needs to know in order to administer and maintain a Unix system.The book includes coverage of the key Unix variations: Red Hat Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Apple's Mac OS X environment.The book will not be a comprehensive solution to all problems facing new system administrators, but instead is a tutorial introduction to the process of learning about and maintaining a running Unix server.

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (10)
Great coverage of Unix file systems architecture
An excellent treatise on the topic concerned!
Good overview
Good supplements for UNIX internals
Good book, encourages the reader to experiment and learn The author obviously wants the reader to learn through experimentation and actively encourages this with a number of step by step examples that the reader can easily both repeat on their systems and use as a starting point for their own "what if?" experimentation on the subject matter. Perhaps including a little more information on other current filesystems would make a good book better as mentioned in another review, but only if it provided the author with a starting point for taking the reader through examples of another filesystem feature, or perhaps an opportunity to compare and contrast solutions to a given design issue. Including UNIX filesystem history was both interesting and helpful in as much as it provides a context through which the reader can understand why the introduction of features such as page cache, Sun's vnode layer etc were necessary or useful. In summary, I found the book an interesting read and I was not disappointed with my purchase. ... Read more |

You can be a smarty too
Learn something you did not know with UNIX Internals!!
Best OS book
The best operating systems book in existence I originally encountered "UNIX Internals" in my undergraduate operating systems class.At the time, I liked it, but I didn't really appreciate its full beauty until I re-read it with a few years of operating systems experience under my belt.I work as an operating systems programmer for a living, and whenever my knowledge needs brushing up, I go back to this book. Uresh Vahalia does an excellent job of comparing and analyzing the approaches taken by different operating systems, rather than merely describing them.His deep understanding of the topic is what really sets this book apart.In addition, it is well written, conveniently organized, and thoroughly indexed.If you really want to understand operating systems, this is the perfect book for you. As others have noted, this book is not for the beginner.You should probably have a minimum of three years of computer science experience before picking this book up.

Editorial Review Product Description Like Unix itself, this book is highly literate, and rewards those who are willing to read through explanations of the command strings that pepper the paragraphs. The best strategy is to read this book from cover to cover, imagining that you're sitting through a seminar. You might know about some of the topics that are presented, but it's likely that something in every chapter will improve the depth of your Unix knowledge. A helpful pedagogical trick: Lasser has included practice problems here and there. A typical one: "Display the string 'Today's date is:,' followed by today's date." You should be able to solve these by reading the examples carefully, but you'll find solutions in the back of the book, in case you need them. This is a great book for Unix beginners. --David Wall Topics covered: The Unix operating system and its peculiar way of allowing users to string commands together in powerful, flexible sequences. Commands and techniques are explored that have to do with files, processes, piping, shell commands, shell scripting, and the essentials of the X windowing system. Customer Reviews (15)

Editorial Review Product Description From a wealth of experience of developing system and application software, and a real appreciation of the needs of UNIX system programmers, the authors fully appreciate that computing is not a spectator sport. By exploring both system calls and subroutine libraries they give the reader a practical appreciation of when not to reinvent the wheel, as well as a better understanding of the internal workings of this still elegant operating system.

A second look I did buy Practical UNIX Programming and are using both books. Along with UNIX System V Network Programming by Rago, I have the necessary stepping-stones into the Steven's Books (TCP 1-3, Advanced UNIX, UNIX Network Programming Vol1-2, etc).

Clarification on authorship
This book should be far better known
Somewhat dated now, but still very worthy ideas. I used this book back around 1990 to develop a large software suite.The first 5 chapters are an excellent intro to portable C coding.We used the beginning chapters to design and develop our common platform headers, libraries and Make system.We did not take their examples unchanged, but used them as starting points for a our needs, which was a somewhat more comprehensive system.My team gives the book credit for helping us get us some of our 10x improvements.Still have not seen the likes of this book even today, in terms of the quality of data to use. The last half of the book is a summary of different API calls and /bin functions available on different Unixes of the day. Interesting now, from a historical perspective. ... Read more |
