Hard links and symbolic links
Lesson 6 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
- 3
- Signed for by a person
- 0
Partly checked. None of the 3 questions here has been read against the cited source by a person. 3 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
- You run `ln /data/report.txt /data/backup.txt` and then `rm /data/report.txt`. What is the state of the data afterwards? machine-checked
- Select the THREE statements that are true about links on a Linux filesystem. machine-checked
- Type the complete command that creates a symbolic link at /usr/local/bin/python pointing to the existing executable /usr/bin/python3.11. machine-checked
