   • 0027
   • 0036
   • 7640
   • 0029

3. Which of the following commands changes the number of days before the ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 has to run through a full filesystem check while booting?

   • tune2fs –d 200 /dev/sda1
   • tune2fs –i 200 /dev/sda1
   • tune2fs –c 200 /dev/sda1
   • tune2fs –n 200 /dev/sda1
   • tune2fs –days 200 /dev/sda1

4. Which is the default percentage of reserved space for the root user on new ext4 filesystems?

   • 10%
   • 3%
   • 15%
   • 0%
   • 5%

5. Which of the following is true when a file system, which is neither listed in /etc/fstab nor known to system, is mounted manually?

   • systemd ignores any manual mounts which are not done using the systemctl mount command
   • The command systemctl mountsync can be used to create a mount unit based on the existing mount
   • systemd automatically generates a mount unit and monitors the mount point without changing it
   • Unless a systemd mount unit is created, systemd unmounts the file system after a short period of time
   • systemctl unmount must be used to remove the mount because system opens a file descriptor on the mount point

6. FILL BLANK

   Which program updates the database that is used by the locate command? (Specify ONLY the command without any path or parameters).

   • updatedb

7. What does the command mount --bind do?

   • It makes the contents of one directory available in another directory
   • It mounts all available filesystems to the current directory
   • It mounts all user mountable filesystems to the user’s home directory
   • It mounts all file systems listed in /etc  /fstab which have the option userbind set
   • It permanently mounts a regular file to a directory

8. Consider the following output from the command ls –i:

   

   How would a new file named c.txt be created with the same inode number as a.txt (Inode 525385)?

   •  ln –h a.txt c.txt

   • ln c.txt a.txt

   • ln a.txt c.txt

   • ln –f c.txt a.txt

   • ln –i 525385 c.txt

9. Consider the following directory:

   drwxrwxr-x 2 root sales 4096 Jan 1 15:21 sales

   Which command ensures new files created within the directory sales are owned by the group sales? (Choose two.)

   • chmod g+s sales

   • setpol –R newgroup=sales sales

   • chgrp –p sales sales

   • chown --persistent *.sales sales

   • chmod 2775 sales

10. In order to display all currently mounted filesystems, which of the following commands could be used? (Choose two.)

    • cat /proc/self/mounts

    • free

    • lsmounts

    • mount

    • cat /proc/filesystems

11. FILL BLANK

    Which command displays the current disk space usage for all mounted file systems? (Specify ONLY the command without any path or parameters.)

    • df

12. Which chown command changes the ownership to dave and the group to staff on a file named data.txt?

    • chown dave/staff data.txt

    • chown –u dave –g staff data.txt

    • chown --user dave --group staff data.txt

    • chown dave+staff data.txt

    • chown dave:staff data.txt

13. When considering the use of hard links, what are valid reasons not to use hard links?

    • Hard links are not available on all Linux systems because traditional filesystems, such as ext4, do not support them
    • Each hard link has individual ownership, permissions and ACLs which can lead to unintended disclosure of file content
    • Hard links are specific to one filesystem and cannot point to files on another filesystem
    • If users other than root should be able to create hard links, suln has to be installed and configured
    • When a hard linked file is changed, a copy of the file is created and consumes additional space

    • /usr/share/man/

    • /var/pkg/man

    • Linux does not require the assistance of the BIOS to boot a computer
    • The BIOS boot process starts only if secondary storage, such as the hard disk, is functional
    • The BIOS initiates the boot process after turning the computer on
    • The BIOS is started by loading hardware drivers from secondary storage, such as the hard disk

19. What is true regarding UEFI firmware? (Choose two.)

    • It can read and interpret partition tables
    • It can use and read certain file systems
    • It stores its entire configuration on the /boot/ partition
    • It is stored in a special area within the GPT metadata
    • It is loaded from a fixed boot disk position

20. A faulty kernel module is causing issues with a network interface card. Which of the following actions ensures that this module is not loaded automatically when the system boots?

    • Using lsmod --remove --autoclean without specifying the name of a specific module
    • Using modinfo –k followed by the name of the offending module
    • Using modprobe –r followed by the name of the offending module
    • Adding a blacklist line including the name of the offending module to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
