Q10Question 10
Intermediate
System Management · Given a scenario, configure and manage storage in a Linux environment.
A system administrator is managing a high-performance computing cluster where nodes frequently write large temporary files. To optimize I/O and reduce disk wear on the underlying SSDs, the administrator decides to use a tmpfs mount for /tmp. The system has 128GB of RAM. The requirement is to limit the tmpfs mount to 25% of the system's RAM and ensure it is mounted automatically on boot. Which entry in /etc/fstab correctly implements this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
This /etc/fstab entry correctly configures a tmpfs filesystem. The device is tmpfs, the mount point is /tmp, the filesystem type is tmpfs, and the options defaults,size=32g set the standard mount options while limiting the filesystem size to 32GB (25% of 128GB). The 0 0 at the end indicates that the filesystem should not be dumped and should have a pass number of 0 for fsck, which is correct for a non-persistent filesystem like tmpfs.
