Resources/books to learn Disk Management and new filesystems

English Open Chat

Hi
I’m using OpenSuse13.2. In this release of opensuse, BTRFS is the default filesystem and XFS in another optional choice.
I’ve always felt my knowledge about disk management is weak and partial. I need some good references(Website, books , CBT, etc.) to learn Advanced disk management(LVM, RAID, Multipath and LUNs), also other resources to learn how to work with XFS and BTRFS.

I’d be happy if someone guide me and share his/her knowledge and experience about the above topics.
Thanks

A useful book is Nemeth, E., G. Snyder, T. R. Hein, and B. Whaley (2011). UNIX and Linux system administration handbook (Fourth ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. However, you will need to read a bit beyond that for the latest on LVM and RAID. Bear in mind that BtrFS is intended to deal with the some of the limitations of earlier filesystems.
