Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 172

Syslog collecting software is installed on the server. For the log containment, a disk with FAT type partition is used. An engineer determined that log files are being corrupted when the 4 GB file size is exceeded. Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. Use NTFS partition for log containment.
• B. Use the Ext4 partition because it can hold files up to 16 TB.
• C. Use FAT32 to exceed the limit of 4 GB.
• D. Add space to the existing partition and lower the retention period.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because NTFS supports larger file sizes than FAT, thus preventing the corruption issue. Option B, while suggesting Ext4, does not address the immediate need for larger file support as effectively as NTFS for this scenario. Option C is incorrect because FAT32 also has a 4 GB file size limit. Option D does not solve the underlying problem related to file size limitations.
