Abstract
In Chapter 28, “Basic Information,” you learned a few things about the system administrator, time-sharing, file systems, and disks. Now you will learn more about file systems: how they are structured and how to keep them free of errors. You may wish to skip the technical details and proceed directly to “Checking File Systems,” page 451.
