mkfs without any option creates ext2 filesystem
If you don't specify the filesystem type for the target device, it will use the default ext2 filesystem.

Answer is B. 0027
The leading '0' means we're specifying the umask in octal (base 8).
The '2' in the first position subtracts write permissions for "others" (everyone else).
The '7' in the second position subtracts read, write, and execute permissions for the group.
The '2' in the third position subtracts write permission for the user.

E (100%)
techalik Highly Voted 3 years, 1 month ago
By default, the ext3 and ext4 filesystems reserve 5% space for use by the root user. This reserved space counts as Non DFS Used . The Reserved
block count is the number of ext3 / ext4 filesystem blocks that are reserved.
upvoted 10 times
Tewodros89 Most Recent 3 months, 3 weeks ago
The default percentage of reserved space for the root user on new ext4 filesystems is typically 5%. This reserved space is used to ensure that the
root user (superuser) can still write to the filesystem even if it becomes full to prevent system instability.

C. systemd automatically generates a mount unit and monitors the mount point without changing it

Selected Answer: C
D. Unless a systemd mount unit is created, systemd unmounts the file system after a short period of time.
This statement is not accurate. systemd doesn't automatically unmount a file system just because a systemd mount unit is not created. When a
file system is mounted manually, systemd does not have a specific timeout for unmounting it. The file system will remain mounted until explicitly
unmounted using the umount command or a similar method.
Therefore, option D is not a behavior associated with systemd when a file system is mounted manually. The more accurate representation is
option C, where systemd automatically generates a mount unit and monitors the mount point without actively unmounting it.

Selected Answer: C
C. systemd automatically generates a mount unit and monitors the mount point without changing it
Lorsqu'un système de fichiers est monté manuellement (sans être défini dans /etc/fstab et sans utiliser une unité de montage systemd
spécifique), systemd génère automatiquement une unité de montage temporaire pour suivre ce point de montage. Il ne modifie pas le point de
montage, mais il le surveille, ce qui permet au reste du système de réagir en conséquence si nécessaire. Les autres options énumérées ne
décrivent pas correctement le comportement standard de systemd avec les montages manuels.

nothing to support answer C and it was clear that systemd doe NOT automatically create mount points system unit i.e. mount unit needs be
created frst and auto-mount unit only then systemd manages the mount point automatically and hence C is NOT the answer..from the discussion
in the link iam providing it seems to be D which i though from the first place i.e. i was 50-50 between C and D but now im sure it is D and if

***adding further comments because limit on text***
I'm experiencing more diffulties with 'mount' failing silently. Below is a transcript of two examples of this. In the first case, it seems from
'journalctl' that the kernel is mounting the device, but Systemd is (silently, to the user) unmounting it. Unlike with my original example,
systemctl daemon-reload does not fix the problem.

MaikyCR28 1 year, 9 months ago
This took me several days. The correct answer is D. Why?
A. It's not mandatory to use the "systemctl mount" to mount manual mount points.
B. The command "systemctl mountsync" doesn't exist. (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/systemctl.1.html)
C. "systemd automatically generates a mount unit and monitors the mount" yes, but it also says "without changing it", and when a mount point is
mounted manually without list it on /etc/fstab the mount unit will be unmounted every boot time, or even, on each period of time
D. If you don't announce the mount pint in /etc/fstab, the only way to have a correct mount point is by creating it with the systems mount
(https://oguya.ch/posts/2015-09-01-systemd-mount-partition/). Finally we can set a cron that start the mount unit every boot time, which, it can
not be possible whit the option C without creating an entry on the /etc/fstab file.
E. And finally the "E" answer all we know doesn't make sense.

This is a tricky question. I believe the answer is C by process of elimination. I can't find any documentation to support that answer. I believe A is
wrong because I can't find any "systemctl mount" command, though I can find a "systemd-mount" command. I believe B is wrong because the
command "systemctl mountsync" does not exist. I believe D is wrong because I can find no documentation to support it, and I've mounted disks
in a systemd system and they were never unmounted by systemd, even after weeks of being continually mounted. I believe E is wrong for the
same reason that A is wrong, namely, I can't find any "systemctl unmount" command, though I can find a "systemd-umount" command.

The correct answers are A. chmod g+s sales and C. chgrp -p sales sales.
Option A: chmod g+s sales
The chmod g+s command sets the group-set-ID bit for the directory sales. This means that new files created within the directory sales will inherit
the group ownership of the directory, which is sales.
Option C: chgrp -p sales sales
The chgrp -p command changes the group ownership of the directory sales and all of its files and subdirectories recursively. This means that all
files currently in the directory sales and all new files created within the directory will be owned by the group sales.
Option E: chmod 2775 sales
The chmod command changes the permissions of the directory sales. However, it does not affect the group ownership of the directory.

While useful, there are some limitations to what hard links can do. For starters, they can only be created for regular files (not directories or
special files). Also, a hard link cannot span multiple filesystems. They only work when the new hard link exists on the same filesystem as the
original

D. It is different with each reboot
E. It is set to the current run level
Correct Answer: C

The correct answer is C. 1.
In System V init-based systems, the init process is the first process to be started when the system boots. It is responsible for initializing the system
and starting other system services. The init process is assigned the process ID number 1. This means that the init process is the parent of all other
processes on the system.

table on the boot drive. The partition table tells the firmware where the operating system is located and how it is partitioned.
Option B: It can use and read certain file systems
UEFI firmware can only read certain file systems, such as FAT and NTFS. It cannot read or write to Linux file systems, such as ext4 and XFS.

"GRUB is loaded by the firmware [...] from a partition called the ESP (EFI System Partition)."
GRUB is loaded by the (UEFI) firmware in order to boot the OS.
The UEFI firmware itself is located in a chip on the motherboard, and is not loaded from the GPT metadata (which is located on the hard

The UEFI is a firmware, but it can identify partitions and read many filesystems found in them. The UEFI does not rely on the MBR, taking into

The best answers would be A & D.
UEFI and the ESP is a set/special partition on the hard disk. GPT does use UEFI firmware. The efi file is stored but technically UEFI in general can
be loaded however GPT is a definite related component. A fixed boot disk partition pertains to MBR so E is out. Reading & interpreting partition
tables seems more accurate than reading the file system itself.

The correct statements regarding the configuration of yum are:
C. The configuration of package repositories can be divided into multiple files.
This is true. In the typical configuration, repository information is stored in separate files under the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.
D. Repository configurations can include variables such as $basearch or $releasever.
This is true. Yum configuration files support variables like $basearch (architecture of the system, e.g., x86_64) or $releasever (version of the

I think it could be C and D. E contradicts this:
For yum the “repos” are listed in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/. Each repository is represented by a .repo file, like CentOS-Base.repo.
Additional, extra repositories can be added by the user by adding a .repo file in the directory mentioned above, or at the end of /etc/yum.conf.
However, the recommended way to add or manage repositories is with the yum-config-manager tool.

apt-get update updates the list of available packages and their versions, but it does not install or upgrade any packages.
apt-get upgrade actually installs newer versions of the packages you have. After updating the lists, the package manager knows about available
updates for the software you have installed. This is why you first want to update.

The update does not, under any circumstances delete currently installed packages.
Also, it won't install new versions of the package if it has to change another status package.
Efficiency-wise, you want to use dist-upgrade because it has an in-built conflict resolution feature! (Also, does what update does too)

From de MAN Page
update (apt-get(8)): update is used to download package information from all configured sources. Other commands operate on this data to e.g.
perform package upgrades or search in and display details about all packages available for installation.
upgrade (apt-get(8)): upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources configured
via sources.list(5). New packages will be installed if required to satisfy dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed. If an upgrade
for a package requires the removal of an installed package the upgrade for this package isn't performed.
full-upgrade (apt-get(8)): full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to
upgrade the system as a whole.

The correct answer is A. rpm -qpR foo.rpm.

the package requires in order to be installed and run properly.
The other options are incorrect:
B. rpm -dep foo: This command displays the provides information for the RPM package file foo.rpm. Provides information indicates what
capabilities or services the package provides, not its dependencies.
C. rpm -ld foo.rpm: This command displays the list of files that are installed by the RPM package file foo.rpm. It does not provide information
about dependencies.
D. rpm -R foo.rpm: This command lists the files that are contained within the RPM package file foo.rpm. It does not provide information about
dependencies.
E. rpm -pD foo: This command displays the pre-install script for the RPM package file foo.rpm. The pre-install script is executed before the
package is installed, and it is not related to dependencies.

display 1 showing that the script was executed in the current shell. When you execute the script using full path it will show 2, showing that the
script was executed in a subshell.

When a script is run using source it runs within the existing shell, any variables created or modified by the script will remain available after the
script completes.
source is a synonym for dot/period '.' in bash.
Be careful!
./ and source are not quite the same.
./script runs the script as an executable file, launching a new shell to run it

Which of the following signals is sent to a process when the key combination Ctrl+C is pressed on the keyboard?
A. SIGTERM
B. SIGCONT
C. SIGSTOP
D. SIGKILL
E. SIGINT
Correct Answer: E
naTpuoT 3 months, 1 week ago
Correct E - SIGINT is the signal sent when we press Ctrl+C
Ctrl + C vs Ctrl + Z | Are they the Same?
No, they are not. People ordinarily tend to confuse Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Z, as both of them seem to carry out a similar functionality, if not entirely
the same. Indeed, both Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Z can interrupt a running process, but the task that follows differs.
Ctrl + C will terminate the process after it has interrupted and stopped the running process. On the other hand, Ctrl + Z will only pause the
process temporarily, and send the running process to the background. The user is then able to run any other terminals processes in the
meantime, and once done, the user can again bring the paused process back to the foreground, by means of using the fg command inside the
terminal.

That is correct, this option will work without switches and can be .tar.gz or tgz (Tested using CentOS7):
tar cvfz backup-1.tgz (to create)
tar ztf backup-1.tgz (to list the contents without extracting/unpacking)
the tar.gz can be substituted just fine with .tgz
z switch is for handling .tar.gz g zip files, the t switch list the contents without extracting the file, and f specifies the command is to use the
archive file name, the -v switch would help to show permissions, size, and timestamp but the answer E could exclude this as the question asks
about displaying the contents of the tar file.

it is recommended to define individual repositories in new or existing .repo files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. The values you define in

Managing Software Repositories
For yum the “repos” are listed in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/. Each repository is represented by a .repo file, like CentOS-Base.repo.
Additional, extra repositories can be added by the user by adding a .repo file in the directory mentioned above, or at the end of
/etc/yum.conf. However, the recommended way to add or manage repositories is with the yum-config-manager tool.

Grub can be installed to the "Device" only (not partition)
upvoted 2 times
MaikyCR28 1 year, 10 months ago
This is a "tricky" question because it's asking about the grub installation and also It refers to the first partition, which all we know it's /dev/sda1,
but the main idea of the question is about where the grub will be installed and it's focused on this last. So, starting from this point, grub only can
be installed by referring to a device and not to a partition. In fact, on page 78 of the LPIC-1 book, it says: "To install GRUB Legacy on a disk from
a running system we will use the grub-install utility. The
basic command is grub-install DEVICE where DEVICE is the disk where you wish to install GRUB Legacy. An example would be /dev/sda." In
conclusion, the right answer is A.

wvdw1962 1 year, 12 months ago
I think the corrext answer is A:
The usage is basically very simple. You only need to specify one argument to the program, namely, where to install the boot loader. The
argument has to be either a device file (like ‘/dev/hda’). For example, under Linux the following will install GRUB into the MBR of the first IDE
disk:
# grub-install /dev/sda

With E, yes if hypervisor was replaced with container namespace and the same kernel execution were referenced, then this would be
accurate. So choice E is wrong. However, LXC does focus on OS containerization and the goal is to not need a separate kernel.

syrius82 4 months ago
According to chatgpt:
Snapshot Creation: LVM supports the creation of read-only or read-write snapshots of logical volumes. Snapshots are useful for data backup,
testing, and other purposes (A)
Dynamic Volume Management: LVM allows you to create, resize, and manage logical volumes without the need to repartition your hard drives.
This makes it easier to adapt your storage configuration as your needs change (B)
Encryption: LVM can be used in conjunction with encryption technologies to create encrypted logical volumes for enhanced data security (E)
Looks like A,B,E right choices for this question. C should be false since you can only create, resize and manage logical volumes. D is false since
data striping or mirroring does not concern with raid 9 type.

Question #75 Topic 1
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.)
A. The old backups can be moved to slow backup media, such as tapes, while still serving as hard link target in new backups.
B. The backup runs faster because hard links are asynchronous operations, postponing the copy operation to a later point in time.
C. The backup is guaranteed to be uncharged because a hard linked file cannot be modified after its creation.
D. The backup consumes less space because the hard links point to the same data on disk instead of storing redundant copies.
E. The backup runs faster because, instead of copying the data of each file, hard links only change file system meta data.

Permissions on all hard links to the same data on disk are always identical. The same applies to attributes.

Default permissions:

Bodescu Highly Voted 2 years, 7 months ago
For you to know. According to FHS:
/bin contains executables needed to up or repair the system, monouser mode.
/usr/bin contains executables for users to use. Most of non booting programs, intended for normal users, should be placed here.
/sbin/ contains boot binaries, and other executables tipically not used for nnormal users.
/usr/local/bin usually contains non system, third party locally compiled binaries. Default location for user binaries.
/usr/local/sbin contains non system binaries for root only.

Correct Answer: BD
B is correct because it specifies user of 'root' with -u.
D is correct because it matches 'real user ID' with uid of 0 (which I assume is the default.)
What is the real user ID?
Who you really are (the person who owns the proess).
A unique number for a user in the system.
What is pgrep?
Look at running processes and lists the process ID to STDOUT.
For example:
pgrep -u root sshd
Will only list the process ID's that are owned by root (user).

Only match processes whose real user ID is listed. Either the

-f, --full
The pattern is normally only matched against the process name.
When -f is set, the full command line is used.

Ctrl-Z sends SIGTSTP, a signal this causes the process to suspend execution. In this case, it is resumable - try executing a command that will take
a while and press Ctrl-Z; you'll see something in the lines of
[1]+ Stopped [your command].
Type fg in your Terminal and you'll see the process resuming, if it didn't end before resuming it.

Raafiik Most Recent 6 days, 8 hours ago
Selected Answer: D
The regular expression s/[ABC] [abc]/xx/ attempts to match a single character from the set [ABC] (i.e., A, B, or C), followed by a space, and then
another single character from the set [abc] (i.e., a, b, or c).
In the given string ABCabc, there is no occurrence where a space follows a character from the set [ABC]. Therefore, the regular expression doesn’t
find any matches within the string, resulting in no changes to the original string.
Hence, the output remains the same as the input string: ABCabc.

ccpmad 9 months, 3 weeks ago
It's possible that you interpreted the regular expression as if it was being executed with single or double quotes, which could explain the
discrepancy in the answer. In a context where the regular expression is executed with single or double quotes, the answer "A. ABxxbc" could be
correct, as the regular expression "s/[ABC] [abc]/xx/" would look for an uppercase letter from "A" to "C", followed by a space, followed by a
lowercase letter from "a" to "c", and replace it with "xx". However, in a context where single or double quotes are not required to execute the
regular expression, the correct answer remains option "B. xxCxxc", as mentioned earlier. It's important to note that the execution of a regular
expression can depend on the context and the parameters used, and there may be multiple correct answers.
upvoted 1 times
ccpmad 9 months, 3 weeks ago
in the question statement, it is not specified in what context the regular expression is being used, so it is assumed that it is used in a context
where single or double quotes are not required. Therefore, the correct answer remains option "B. xxCxxc", as it is the result of applying the
regular expression "s/[ABC] [abc]/xx/" to the string "ABCabc -"

Murteira Highly Voted 2 years, 7 months ago
People pointing answers C and D are not creating the directory with the leading \. To do that you need do use mkdir "\dir" since mkdir \dir will
create a directory named only "dir". Thats why C and D are working for them.

When booting from the hard disk, a computer successfully loads the Linux kernel and initramfs but hangs during the subsequent startup tasks.
The system is booted using a Linux based rescue CD to investigate the problem. Which of the following methods helps to identify the root
cause of the problem?
A. Using the dmesg command from the rescue CD's shell to view the original system's boot logs.
B. Investigating the file /proc/kmsg on the computer's hard disk for possible errors.
C. Investigating the file /var/log on the computer's hard disk for possible errors.
D. Using chroot to switch to the file system on the hard disk and use dmesg to view the logs.
E. Rebooting again from the hard drive since the system successfully booted from the rescue CD.
Correct Answer: C
CuriousLinuxCat Highly Voted 2 years, 5 months ago
During boot, the logs are stored in dmesg, but are later transferred to /var/logs when the boot has finished.
In this example, it was successfully rebooted with a rescue disk, hence one needs to go look at /var/logs because your OS transferred it there!

The kernel will then open the initramfs (initial RAM filesystem). The initramfs is an archive containing a filesystem used as a temporary root
filesystem during the boot process. The main purpose of an initramfs file is to provide the required modules so the kernel can access the “real”
root filesystem of the operating system"
An initramfs is a compressed file system archive, which can be unpacked to examine its contents.
The kernel uses the initramfs temporarily before accessing the real root file system

Choose two answers but there are three correct answers (A, C and D), the temporary filesystem is created at boot time after decompress
initramfs on /run/initramfs after system start and is necessary to shutdown the system, with it root filesystem can be unmounted properly.

I agree with you. We all agree D is true, but A: not sure how to uncompressed it, but sure it is possible. Then I checked /run/initramfs and
effectively files modification data matches today corresponding with boot. If someone can tell why C is not true, I'll be thankful!

Question #117 Topic 1
Which of the following commands loads a kernel module along with any required dependency modules?
A. depmod
B. modprobe
C. module_install
D. insmod
E. loadmod
Correct Answer: B
MartiFC Highly Voted 1 year, 11 months ago
The answer is correct
"Some modules have dependencies, which are other kernel modules that must be loaded before the module in question can be loaded. The
modprobe command always takes dependencies into account when performing operations. When you ask modprobe to load a specific kernel
module, it first examines the dependencies of that module, if there are any, and loads them if they are not already loaded into the kernel.
modprobe resolves dependencies recursively: it will load all dependencies of dependencies, and so on, if necessary, thus ensuring that all
dependencies are always met."

Question #118 Topic 1
What information can the lspci command display about the system hardware? (Choose three.)
A. System battery type
B. Device IRQ settings
C. PCI bus speed
D. Ethernet MAC address
E. Device vendor identification
Correct Answer: BCE
anhcq Highly Voted 2 years, 1 month ago
The lspci command alone does not provide any other information but hardware vendor. To inspect further, need to run lspci twice, the 2nd run
add -s flag followed by corresponding hexadecimal numbers at the beginning of line examined in 1st lspci run, and finally -v flag.
Eg. lspci -s 00:03.0 -v
With this run, we can get IRQ and bus information

jurgen1 Most Recent 10 months ago
Selected Answer: AC
A. S02apache2 is run when runlevel 2 is entered. This is because the symbolic link in /etc/rc2.d starts with the letter "S", which stands for "Start",
and is followed by a number that determines the order in which the scripts are executed when entering the corresponding runlevel.
C. K01apache2 is never run because K indicates a deactivated service. This is because the symbolic link in /etc/rc1.d starts with the letter "K",
which stands for "Kill", and is followed by a number that determines the order in which the scripts are executed when leaving the corresponding
runlevel.
Therefore, the correct answers are A and C.

Selected Answer: AE
AE:
Regarding the E, we all agree that K indicates that THE SERVICE (apache2) won't take place in run level 1.
But the question (and is somewhat ambiguous wording) ask about THE SCRIPT itself that will deactivate apache2.
By following the logic of https://www.golinuxhub.com/2014/01/what-are-s-and-k-scripts-in-etc-rcxd/, the K scripts are in deed executed to stop
the service.
So, if the option C didn't include the K01 and just refer to the apache2 service that would be correct. But again, the reasoning of the question
refers to the script itself, or at least that is the way it is written.

The first letter of the link filename in the runlevel’s directory indicates if the service should be started or terminated for the corresponding
runlevel. A link’s filename starting with letter K determines that the service will be killed when entering the runlevel (kill).

Can't say for sure, but what @Zeist said resonates more intuitively for me.
I think that K01apache2 script (Answer C) is read by the OS and is promptly killed before the service can be started / has already started.
"deactivated service" may not apply because the service could have been started prior to the scripts being executed.
I would go for A and E.

[Removed] 3 years, 5 months ago
C is correct. The S stands for start and K for Kill. These are essentially links to the original scripts in /etc/rc.d. The numbers after S/K are the
priority by which the services will be started/Killed
upvoted 1 times
Zeist 3 years, 5 months ago
Both S and K links gives to OS instructions on how handle a specific service when an init state change happen. K and S indicate if the service
will be started or stopped, the following number indicate the init level to which the script will be applied. Any link that start with K01 means
that the relative service will be killed as soon as the system switch of init 1 (single user mode). A and E are correct.

I don't agree with you. The number indicates priority of execution, the init state is indicated in the folder containing the scripts. K00 will be
executed first and K99 last.
On the other hand, for me A is correct. E is wrong, that script will be run when leaving runlevel 1. C might be correct, because runlevel 1 is
single-user mode used for system maintenance, and in that state, services are restricted to bare-minimum, and apache might be
deactivated in that runlevel.
