intro - introduction to system maintenance and operation
commands
The manual pages in section 8 contain information related to
system operation
and maintenance. They describe commands used to create new file
systems, newfs(8); verify the integrity of the file systems,
fsck(8);
control disk usage, edquota(8); maintain system backups,
dump(8); and recover
files when disks die an untimely death, restore(8).
The newfs(8) manual for the specific architecture the system
is running
on should be consulted when formatting disks and tapes.
Network related
services like inetd(8) and ftpd(8) are also described. The
section
crash(8) should be consulted to understand how to interpret
system crash
dumps.
