Date: Fri, 9 May 2003 20:42 +0200 From: Matty Huntjens Subject: message to students practical work OS Exercise 3 has been released today. The exercise is about filesystems. You can find the webpage containing the exercise description via the BS website: www.cs.vu.nl/~bs/. Because of the delayed release of exercise 3, we have decide to decouple the submission dates for exercise 3 from the submission dates of exercise 1 and 2 (Note: exercise 1 and 2 are still to be submitted on the last day of each month!). The first submission deadline for exercise 3 is (the day before) June 16. The following submission schema applies for exercise 3: submitted before: testing period: 16-06-2003 16-06-2003 t/m 20-06-2003 (5 days) 07-07-2003 01-07-2003 t/m 11-07-2003 (5 days) 28-07-2003 28-07-2003 t/m 30-07-2003 (3 days) 14-08-2003 14-08-2003 t/m 15-08-2003 (2 days) The time between each testperiod is two weeks. Although we have done our best to make sure that the exercise does not contain any unclear information or errors, it cannot be excluded that errors in the specification are found, possibly by you. Therefore it is adviceable to check the bs webpage at regular intervals (in particular, before you submit your exercise) to see if there were any updates of the exercise(s). Best regards, Guido van 't Noordende, supervisor
