Step 1. File system hierarchy for boot volume for reference

Linux File System

Step 2 : Maintenance of file system

Among all above file systems we can only do maintenance operations in below file systems

(A) /home

/home directory in Linux is a standard directory that is used to store the personal directories of users.

(B) /tmp

/tmp directory in Linux is a temporary file storage location used for storing files that are needed temporarily during system operation.

(C) /var

/var directory in Linux is used to store variable data files.

In var, we only do maintenance of log & tmp file.

• last 10 lines of log file in secure

tail secure

• last 100 lines of log file in secure

 tail -n 100 secure

(Note : In log file system we only do maintenance of old backup files in secure and messages under /var.)

For removing backup files in secure/messages

rm -rf secure.bkp01012024

File is deleted.
