In this lesson
Prepare for the Linux+ XK0-006 exam (CompTIA Linux+ V8). In this lesson: mounting with mount and /etc/fstab, mount options, NFS and SMB network mounts, space and inodes (df, du), checking and repairing filesystems (fsck, xfs_repair), growing filesystems (resize2fs, xfs_growfs), and disk benchmarks with fio, with Pinecrest Media, a fictional video streaming company, as the running example. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- An encoding node mounts the media share from /etc/fstab. When the storage server was down for maintenance, the node never finished booting. Which mount option lets the boot go on without the share?
- The thumbnail filesystem holds millions of tiny images. New files fail with no space left on device, but df shows 40% free space. Which command confirms the cause?
- After a power cut, the XFS filesystem that holds the film archive will not mount. It is unmounted now. Which tool checks and repairs it?
