Addison Wesley Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, The

Não há como descrever, simplesmente o melhor livro de Kernel internals já criado pelo homem. Ideal para quem buscar realmente compreender como funciona um sistema operacional. Com estes autores, já era esperado sair algo assim. Nota 10!

This book is essential for those interested in UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems. It is well written and is 886 pages long. It covers the FreeBSD operating system, which traces its roots back to UNIX. The discussion begins with historical background of the UNIX operating systems, and develops into technical aspects of core UNIX systems, like file systems, security, firewalls, and memory management, to name a few. All this is well explained in the book. The book is largely academic in nature, but the material is presented in such a way that scholars and enthusiasts alike should be able to benefit greatly from it. The book is well suited for teaching computer science. It contains short exercises/questions covering the topics of the chapters.The book discusses extremely useful things from the daily operation of UNIX operating systems, e.g. "Soft Updates", "Journaled Soft Updates", the functionality of both the UFS and ZFS file systems and many related things. But the importance of the state of file systems in operating systems can never be overestimated, as it is the part that keeps track of data and its handling on computer disks.If something serious happens to the operating system's file system, there is always the risk of data loss. However, that risk must be considered at an absolute minimum on FreeBSD, whether with UFS or ZFS file system. Taking a backup is also an important safety measure in this context. On p. 807-846 is a glossary of technical terms, a computer dictionary, but it is always useful to be familiar with various technical terms in the computer world.The book is welcome for all those readers who want to deepen their understanding of the functionality of UNIX-based operating systems and get to know the infrastructure of UNIX systems.

Llego bien y con buen tiempo aApenas llevo 2 capitulos, es tipo nivel avanzado y hay que releer ciertas partes para entender lo que quiere explicar el autor

Just perfect work !!

In der Sache schließe ich mich den Vorrednern an (u.a. Zitat: Klassiker zum Thema Betriebssysteme im Allgemeinen sowie FreeBSD im Speziellen) und halte das Werk für ebenso wichtig wie damals "The Design and Implementation of the UNIX Operating System" (M.J. Bach, Prentice Hall-Verlag) aus den 80-ern.Das vorliegende Buch The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System ist auf hohem Niveau geschrieben und besonders interessant für Studenten oder Fachleute, welche sich sowohl mit funktionalen, unixoiden Betriebssystemen im Allgemeinen als auch dem FreeBSD-System im Speziellen auseinandersetzen möchten. Das Buch verweist auf reichlich Sekundärliteratur und will definitiv gründlich (d.h. nicht an einem Nachmittag) gelesen werden. Aus meiner Sicht ist es daher kein Nachschlagewerk, sondern eines der wesentlichen Werke (weltweit) zur Erlangung eines weitergehenden, tieferen Verständnisses der Materie.Aus den genannten Gründen empfehle ich dieses Buch auch uneingeschränkt für Administratoren, Engineers und Entwickler anderer unixoider Betriebssysteme wie z.B. GNU/Linux, OpenSolaris/Indiana oder anderer BSD-Systeme.
