    • /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
    • /etc/apt/apt.conf

    • --clean
    • --purge
    • --vacuum
    • --remove
    • --declare
  8. Which of the following statements are correct when comparing Linux containers with traditional virtual machines (e.g. LXC vs. KVM)? (Choose three.)

    • Containers are a lightweight virtualization method where the kernel controls process isolation and resource management.
    • Fully virtualized machines can run any operating system for a specific hardware architecture within the virtual machine.
    • Containers are completely decoupled from the host system’s physical hardware and can only use emulated virtual hardware devices.
    • The guest environment for fully virtualized machines is created by a hypervisor which provides virtual and emulated hardware devices.
    • Containers on the same host can use different operating systems, as the container hypervisor creates separate kernel execution.
  9. The installation of a local Debian package failed due to unsatisfied dependencies. Which of the following commands installs missing dependencies and completes the interrupted package installation?

    • dpkg --fix --all
    • apt-get autoinstall
    • dpkg-reconfigure --all
    • apt-get all
    • apt-get install -f
  10. Which of the following commands lists all currently installed packages when using RPM package management?

    • yum --query --all
    • yum --list --installed
    • rpm --query --list
    • rpm --list --installed
    • rpm --query --all
  11. Which of the following commands are valid in the GRUB 2 configuration file? (Choose two.)

    • menuentry
    • uefi
    • pxe-ifconfig
    • insmod
    • kpartx
  12. What is the purpose of the ldd command?

    • It lists which shared libraries a binary needs to run.
    • It installs and updates installed shared libraries.
    • It turns a dynamically linked binary into a static binary.
    • It defines which version of a library should be used by default.
    • It runs a binary with an alternate library search path.
  13. What can the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) be used for? (Choose three.)

    • To create snapshots.
    • To dynamically change the size of logical volumes.
    • To dynamically create or delete logical volumes.
    • To create RAID 9 arrays.
    • To encrypt logical volumes.
  14. What are the main differences between GPT and MBR partition tables regarding maximum number and size of partitions? (Choose two.)

    • MBR can handle partition sizes up to 4 TB, whereas GPT supports partition sizes up to 128 ZB.
    • By default, GPT can manage up to 128 partitions while MBR only supports four primary partitions.
    • By default, GPT can manage up to 64 partitions while MBR only supports 16 primary partitions.
    • MBR can handle partition sizes up to 2.2 TB, whereas GPT supports sizes up to 9.4 ZB.
    • Both GPT and MBR support up to four primary partitions, each with up to 4096 TB.
  15. A backup software heavily uses hard links between files which have not been changed in between two backup runs. Which benefits are realized due to these hard links? (Choose two.)

    • The old backups can be moved to slow backup media, such as tapes, while still serving as hard link target in new backups.
    • The backup runs faster because hard links are asynchronous operations, postponing the copy operation to a later point in time.
    • The backup is guaranteed to be uncharged because a hard linked file cannot be modified after its creation.
    • The backup consumes less space because the hard links point to the same data on disk instead of storing redundant copies.
    • The backup runs faster because, instead of copying the data of each file, hard links only change file system meta data.
  16. FILL BLANK

    Which file from the /proc/ file system contains a list of all currently mounted devices? (Specify the full name of the file, including path.)

    • /proc/mounts
  17. How many fields are in a syntactically correct line of /etc/fstab?

    • 3
    • 4
    • 5
    • 6
    • 7
  18. Running chmod 640 filea.txt as a regular user doesn’t update filea.txt’s permission. What might be a reason why chmod cannot modify the permissions? (Choose two.)

    • filea.txt is owned by another user and a regular user cannot change the permissions of another user’s file.
    • filea.txt is a symbolic link whose permissions are a fixed value which cannot be charged.
    • filea.txt has the sticky bit set and a regular user cannot remove this permission.
    • filea.txt is a hard link whose permissions are inherited from the target and cannot be set directly.
    • filea.txt has the SetUID bit set which imposes the restriction that only the root user can make changes to the file.
  19. Which of the following Linux filesystems preallocate a fixed number of inodes when creating a new filesystem instead of generating them as needed? (Choose two.)

    • JFS
    • ext3
    • XFS
    • ext2
    • procfs
  20. Which of the following commands sets the SetUID permission on the executable /bin/foo?

    • chmod 4755 /bin/foo
    • chmod 1755 /bin/foo
    • chmod u-s /bin/foo
    • chmod 755+s /bin/foo
    • chmod 2755 /bin/foo
