    Closing out our week of discussing the Dark Arts[1] of file systems, we show how to resize an existing file system on using the resize_ffs(8) tool. We first increase the size of a 512MB partition to 1GB, then shrink it down to 256MB:

      Week 6, Networking II: A simple request

      In this video, we trace a simple HTTP request made via telnet to find out just how exactly our application knows how to connect to the remote server. In the process we learn about the ktrace(1) utility (strace(1) on ), as well as the nsswitch.conf(5), hosts(5), and resolve.conf(5) configuration files.
