In this third edition of the bestselling How Linux Works, author Brian Ward peels back the layers of this well-loved operating system to make Linux internals accessible. This edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded with added coverage of Logical Volume Manager (LVM), virtualization, and containers. You'll learn: How Linux boots, from boot loaders to init (systemd)How the kernel manages devices, device drivers, and processesHow networking, interfaces, firewalls, and servers workHow development tools work and relate to shared librariesHow to write effective shell scripts You'll also explore the kernel and examine key system tasks inside user-space processes, including system calls, input and output, and filesystem maintenance. With its combination of background, theory, real-world examples, and thorough explanations, How Linux Works, 3rd Edition will teach you what you need to know to take control of your operating system.NEW TO THIS EDITION: Hands-on coverage of the LVM, journald logging system, and IPv6Additional chapter on virtualization, featuring containers and cgroupsExpanded discussion of systemd Covers systemd-based installations
