XK0-006 Automation, Orchestration, and Scripting Practice Question
A containerized application uses a bind mount to persist logs. When the container is removed and recreated, the logs are missing. What is the most likely cause?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The bind mount was not specified in the new container run command
Bind mounts depend on the host path; if the bind mount was not re-specified, the new container does not have access to the previous host directory unless explicitly mounted.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The container was run with --rm, which deletes the bind mount
Why it's wrong here
--rm removes the container after exit, but does not affect bind mounts on the host.
- ✗
The host directory was deleted when the container was removed
Why it's wrong here
Removing a container does not delete the host directory.
- ✗
The log files were written to the container's writable layer instead of the mount
Why it's wrong here
If the mount was correctly specified, logs would go there.
- ✓
The bind mount was not specified in the new container run command
Why this is correct
Bind mounts are not automatically recreated; they must be specified each time.
