Course details

Master disk systems and system backup techniques for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)—one of the most popular Linux distributions. Computer science instructor and Linux enthusiast Grant McWilliams covers creating and resizing BIOS and GPT partitions, optimizing and repairing EXT and XFS file systems, and reaping the advantages of volume management using LVM. Learn how to increase or shrink existing logical volumes as well as replace physical drives in volume groups. Grant also shows how to create RAID 0 and RAID 5 arrays, and use snapshots to back up and restore a Linux system. He also uses merge snapshots to roll back a system disk image. Plus, learn alternate backup methods with tar, the xz compressor, and dump and restore commands.

Note: This course also helps you study to pass the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam—the benchmark certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

    I love Grant's courses, there's no "fluff" and he's straight into the meat of the subject with clear, concise explanations on every point. Maybe some points could be better explained but to be honest if you're working at this level of tech then you're generally going to go off and do further research on key subjects before you hop onto your to production systems. A ton of practical info and it can take 2-3 times longer to get through as you're making so many notes as you work through the examples alongside Grant.
