CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI (LX0-103) — Question 32

Which of the following commands creates an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sdb1? (Choose TWO correct answers.)

Answer options

• A. /sbin/mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1
• B. /sbin/mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
• C. /sbin/mkfs -c ext3 /dev/sdb1
• D. /sbin/mke3fs -j /dev/sdb1

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The commands in options A and B correctly create an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sdb1. Option A uses /sbin/mke2fs with the -j flag for journaling, while option B specifies the type as ext3 using /sbin/mkfs. Options C and D are incorrect; C uses an invalid flag and D contains a typo in the command name.
