Partitions and filesystems
Lesson 1 of 7 in objective 104. Devices, Linux filesystems, filesystem hierarchy standard, part of LPIC-1 Exam 101-500.
- Objective
- 104. Devices, Linux filesystems, filesystem hierarchy standard
- Share of the exam
- 25% (the whole objective)
- Questions in this lesson
- 5
- Signed for by a person
- 0
Partly checked. None of the 5 questions here has been read against the cited source by a person. 5 questions have been checked against their cited clause by an automated pass — which is not the same thing, and is not a signature.
Only questions a person has signed for are used in mock exams here. That is the whole difference between the two kinds of checking above.
Questions in this lesson
- A new disk /dev/sdb has no partition table at all. Which command writes an empty GPT partition table onto it without dropping you into an interactive editor? machine-checked
- You need the partition /dev/sdc1 on a USB stick to carry a FAT32 filesystem so that Windows machines can read and write it. Which command creates it? machine-checked
- You have just run `mkswap /dev/sdb2`. Which command makes the kernel start using that swap area immediately, without a reboot? machine-checked
- Type the complete command that creates an ext4 filesystem on the partition /dev/sdb1, using default options. machine-checked
- The partition /dev/sdb2 has been set aside for paging. Type the command that prepares it as a swap area (it does not activate it). machine-checked

A lesson is one sitting: the trainer draws a short run from these questions alone and spaces the ones you get wrong.
