Create mount point directory, then mount device, then update /etc/fstab, then verify mount
Mounting a filesystem requires creating a mount point and using the mount command with the device and mount point.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create mount point directory, then mount device, then update /etc/fstab, then verify mount
Why this is correct
This is correct because you must create a mount point before mounting, and updating fstab is optional but typically done after a successful test mount, with verification at the end.
- ✗
Mount device, then create mount point, then update /etc/fstab, then verify mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the mount point must exist before you can mount a device; otherwise the mount command will fail.
- ✗
Update /etc/fstab, then create mount point, then mount device, then verify mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you should test the mount before adding it to fstab; also updating fstab before mounting could cause unintended behavior if the mount fails.
- ✗
Verify mount, then create mount point, then mount device, then update /etc/fstab
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification should occur after mounting, not before; the mount point must also be created before mounting.
