Hi. Perhaps, it's a bit off-topic, but I suppose I can get some recommendations here.
I'm lecturing courses on Unix operating systems and need some literature recommendations. So far I've recommended Robachevsky (https://books.google.ru/books/about/%D0%9E%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0.html?id=AdHDYdGKPuMC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false) The Unix Operating System as basic book. It's a really great book, includes chapters devoted to UNIX API (libc), describes processes management, file systems internals (ext3, ufs2), device organization (symbol/block devices, ptys, STREAMS), networking (sockets, TLI, implementation). Second book I recommend is Solaris Internals, but I understand that it's a bit too comples for students (and in fact, Robachevsky is more students-friendly - it's not so deep, but describes a bit wider set of topics, not directly related to Solaris). I really like these books, but they both are 10 years old now (or older). So I was wondering if there's more up-to-date book, devoted to Unix internals, which worth looking at? The set of topic I'm interested in is shell introduction (better bash), UNIX API (working with files, processes, signals, devices, POSIX threads, shared memory, different kinds of IPC) and a in-depth chapter per OS subsystem (process management, filesystems (VFS and some examples of implementation, e.g. UFS and ZFS) , device drivers organization, memory management, networking implementation, privileges (perhaps, different RBAC implementations)).
