Make sure you do not effect the Windows disk or your own OS. Run pvcreate on the new LVM partition only, do not modify your exisiting partition.

Be careful when doing this lab. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR EXISTING PARTITIONS! Check the drive and partition slices carefully when entering values!

• Create a new primay partiton sized 2GB (or larger if you have more room) on your drive. You likely will need to reboot to get the changes to take effect.
• Create a new Logical Volume Group named backup.
• Create 2 logical volumes within the backup LVM group.
  • 1GB users
  • 1GB system
  • You might need to adjust the last siize when you create a logic volume in M instead of G if the system rounded the values so that there is slightly less than 1G free.
• Create an ext4 file system on the volumes you have just created.
• Edit /etc/fstab to have these volumes mounted at boot time. Test using mount to see that they work by hand, and then restart the system to see that they do indeed mount.

Show the sucessful results using the df command.

User/Group Lab

Create a user called student and setup a password for this user.

Create another user called teacher and setup a password for this user.

Modify the /etc/group file so that a teacher can get read access to files that the student creates.

What permissions will the student need to do their files, so that the teacher can read them? How can the student make this the default permission for all new files that they create?

Show me your /etc/group and explain to me what will the student need to do (if you don't change default permissions for a student).
