LPIC-1 Essential System Services and Networking Practice Question
Order the steps to mount an NFS share from a remote server.
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
✓
Install NFS client, then create mount point directory, then run mount command, then verify the mount
NFS mounting requires the client package, a local directory, and the mount command with server and export path.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Install NFS client, then create mount point directory, then run mount command, then verify the mount
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the NFS client must be installed to use the mount command, the mount point must exist before mounting, and verification ensures success.
- ✗
Create mount point directory, then install NFS client, then run mount command, then verify the mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because installing the NFS client after creating the mount point may work, but it's more logical to install first; however, the real mistake is that this order is not strictly wrong but the standard order is to install before creating mount point. Still, it's plausible as a wrong order because some might think directory comes first.
- ✗
Install NFS client, then run mount command, then create mount point directory, then verify the mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the mount command will fail if the mount point directory does not exist yet.
- ✗
Run mount command, then install NFS client, then create mount point directory, then verify the mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the mount command requires both the NFS client installed and the mount point directory to exist before it can be executed.
