    The software that Linux uses to talk to a Microsoft server using SMB is called?

    • NFS

    • Samba

    • CIFS

    • NIS

    Correct Answer
    A. Samba
    Explanation
    Samba is the correct answer because it is the software that Linux uses to communicate with a Microsoft server using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Samba allows Linux to share files and printers with Windows systems and enables Linux to access shared resources on a Windows network. NFS (Network File System) is a different protocol used for sharing files between Unix-like systems, while CIFS (Common Internet File System) is the Windows implementation of SMB. NIS (Network Information Service) is a network directory service used in Unix-like systems for centralized user and group management.

    What are the chunks called into which the available storage space on a disk drive is broken?

    • Bytes

    • Sectors

    • Segments

    • Bits

    Correct Answer
    A. Sectors
    Explanation
    The available storage space on a disk drive is divided into smaller units called sectors. These sectors are the basic building blocks of data storage on a disk drive. Each sector typically holds a fixed amount of data, often 512 bytes, and is individually addressable. By breaking the storage space into sectors, the disk drive can efficiently organize and retrieve data.

    Which RAID version is the most efficient using 3 or more drives?

    • 7

    • 5

    • 0 + 1

    • 0

    • 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    RAID 5 is the most efficient version when using 3 or more drives. In RAID 5, data is distributed across multiple drives along with parity information, which allows for data redundancy and fault tolerance. This means that if one drive fails, the data can still be reconstructed using the parity information on the remaining drives. RAID 5 also offers good performance as it allows for simultaneous read and write operations across multiple drives, making it an efficient choice for data storage and retrieval.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What level of RAID does not provide fault tolerance?

    • 1

    • 3

    • 0

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    RAID 0 does not provide fault tolerance. In RAID 0, data is striped across multiple drives without any redundancy or parity information. This means that if one drive fails, all the data stored on that drive will be lost. RAID 0 is primarily used for performance improvement, as it allows for faster read and write speeds by distributing data across multiple drives. However, it does not provide any protection against drive failures, making it the only RAID level that does not offer fault tolerance.

    FAT32 was replaced by this file system:

    • NTFS

    • Ext-FAT32

    • HFS+

    • Ext4

    Correct Answer
    A. NTFS
    Explanation
    FAT32, a file system commonly used in older Windows operating systems, was replaced by NTFS (New Technology File System). NTFS was introduced with Windows NT and offers several advantages over FAT32, including improved security, support for larger file sizes and partitions, and better data recovery options. NTFS also provides features like file compression, encryption, and access control, making it a more advanced and efficient file system compared to FAT32.

    System administrators that use Active Directory typically manage indivduals, not groups.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is incorrect. System administrators that use Active Directory typically manage both individuals and groups. Active Directory allows administrators to create and manage user accounts for individuals as well as create and manage groups for easier management and organization of users. By placing users into groups, administrators can assign group-based permissions and policies, making it more efficient to manage access and resources within the network.

    When dealing with permissions in Linux, what are the three user types that can be assigned permissions? (Choose three.)

    • Class

    • Owner

    • Group

    • Creator

    • Object

    • Other

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Owner
    A. Group
    A. Other
    Explanation
    In Linux, permissions can be assigned to three user types: Owner, Group, and Other. The Owner refers to the user who owns the file or directory and has the highest level of control over it. The Group refers to a group of users who have similar permissions on the file or directory. The Other refers to all other users who are not the owner or part of the group. These three user types allow for granular control over who can access and modify files and directories in Linux.

    What is RAID level 1 also called?

    • Disk mirroring

    • Disk striping

    • Disk striping with parity

    • Disk parity

    Correct Answer
    A. Disk mirroring
    Explanation
    RAID level 1 is also known as disk mirroring because it involves creating an exact copy or mirror of data on two separate disks. This provides redundancy and fault tolerance, as if one disk fails, the data can still be accessed from the other disk. Disk mirroring ensures data integrity and increases system reliability by providing an immediate backup of data.

    Which common e-mail protocol allows the user to access messages, yet still have them stored on the server?

    • SMTP

    • SNMP

    • IMAP

    • POP3

    Correct Answer
    A. IMAP
    Explanation
    IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is the correct answer because it allows users to access their email messages while keeping them stored on the server. Unlike POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3), which typically downloads emails to the user's device and removes them from the server, IMAP allows users to view and manage their emails without actually downloading them. This makes it convenient for users who want to access their emails from multiple devices or locations, as the messages remain accessible on the server. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending emails, while SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for network management, not email retrieval.

    When an IP address in the DHCP scope is associated with a specific MAC address, it is considered:

    • Exempt

    • Excluded

    • Static

    • Reserved

    Correct Answer
    A. Reserved
    Explanation
    When an IP address in the DHCP scope is associated with a specific MAC address, it is considered "Reserved". This means that the DHCP server will always assign the same IP address to the device with that MAC address. This is useful for devices that require a consistent IP address, such as servers or network printers. The reserved IP address will not be assigned to any other device in the network, ensuring that the device with the specific MAC address always receives the same IP address.

    Which of the following are the correct permissions for the command chmod 574?

    • R-xrw-r--

    • Rwxr-xrw-

    • R--rwxr-w

    • Rwxr-xr--

    • R-xrwxr--

    Correct Answer
    A. R-xrwxr--
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "r-xrwxr--". The command "chmod 574" sets the permissions for a file or directory. The first digit "5" represents the owner's permissions, which are "r-x" (read and execute). The second digit "7" represents the group's permissions, which are "rwx" (read, write, and execute). The third digit "4" represents the others' permissions, which are "r--" (read only). Therefore, the correct permissions for the command "chmod 574" are "r-xrwxr--".

    How many disks are needed to implement a RAID 1 + 0?

    • 5

    • 4

    • 2

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    RAID 1+0, also known as RAID 10, combines mirroring (RAID 1) and striping (RAID 0) techniques. In RAID 1+0, data is mirrored across multiple pairs of disks and then striped across those mirrored pairs. This provides both redundancy and improved performance. To implement RAID 1+0, a minimum of four disks are required. The data is mirrored across two sets of disks, and then those mirrored sets are striped together. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
