They'd be talking about stuff like files, symlinks etc wouldn't they? Cheers, James.

Googling for linux file types gave me a few hits in the top page with sufficient information. As this is "assignment" work, I'm not going to hand the answer to you :)

I have been through the 1st 3 pages of the Google hit list and there is nothing specific. I picked up info like config files, variable files and system files. Then I found config files are part of system files. Am I on the right track. Give my some more clues Daniel
Did you spell 'fundamental' correctly ('a' not 'e')? Did you try 'file types' instead of 'filetypes"? It's all there in google. On 10 Jan 2005 at 9:19, Gun Caundle wrote:

There are very specific lists in the first page of google results (http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=linux+file+types&spell=1) Greig has already sent the list however, so use that and read up on each type. Mark: I doubt that filesystems count as file types. They are contained within either a partition or a file, both of which are fundamental filetypes.

I can think of: file, directory, device, symbolic link, hard link, socket, and pipe. This is in RHCT? Odd. I was going to type something about RHCE, but I realised the NDA probably forbids it. NDA == bad, mmmkay? :) G.
Seven? I've found at least ten: "Linux file types including hard links, symbolic links, owners, single file systems, Resier file systems as well as ext2, ext3, XFS, GFS, and remote NFS attachments" http://www.innovationdp.fdr.com/press/pr_rescuer.cfm On 10 Jan 2005 at 8:33, Gun Caundle wrote:

These are attributes or "features" of a filesystem rather than file types though. G.

From IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (AKA The Single Unix Specification v3, and POSIX.2001): File An object that can be written to, or read from, or both. A file has certain attributes, including access permissions and type. File types include regular file, character special file, block special file, FIFO special file, symbolic link, socket, and directory. Other types of files may be supported by the implementation.
