LPIC-2 Linux Kernel and System Startup Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✓

  1. Install the nfs-common package 2. Create a mount point directory 3. Add an entry to /etc/fstab 4. Mount the remote export 5. Verify the mount

  Why this is correct

  This is the correct order because the NFS client software must be installed first, then a mount point must exist to mount onto, the fstab entry ensures persistence, mounting activates the connection, and verification confirms success.

• ✗

  1. Install the nfs-common package 2. Add an entry to /etc/fstab 3. Create a mount point directory 4. Mount the remote export 5. Verify the mount

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because the mount point directory must exist before adding the fstab entry; otherwise, the mount command or 'mount -a' will fail due to a missing mount point.

• ✗

  1. Create a mount point directory 2. Mount the remote export 3. Add an entry to /etc/fstab 4. Install the nfs-common package 5. Verify the mount

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because the nfs-common package must be installed before any mount attempt; without it, the 'mount' command will not have the necessary NFS support and will fail.

• ✗

  1. Add an entry to /etc/fstab 2. Create a mount point directory 3. Install the nfs-common package 4. Mount the remote export 5. Verify the mount

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because the NFS client package must be installed before attempting to mount; additionally, the mount point directory should be created before the fstab entry is made, though fstab can be edited later, the order presented is illogical.
