LFCS Storage Management Practice Question

Exhibit

/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb1 on /home type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)

Refer to the exhibit. Which filesystem is mounted using the XFS filesystem type?

⚠ Common exam trap

Linux Foundation often tests the misconception that the root filesystem (/) is always XFS in modern distributions, but many exam scenarios use ext4 for / and reserve XFS for separate partitions like /home or /var.

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

✓

/home

(/home) because the exhibit shows that /home is mounted with the XFS filesystem type, as indicated in the output of the 'df -hT' or similar command. XFS is a high-performance 64-bit journaling filesystem commonly used in Linux for large files and scalability, and it is the default filesystem in RHEL/CentOS 7 and later.
