CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 336

A technician is working on a Linux server. The customer has reported that files in the home directory are missing. The /etc/fstab file has the following entry: nfsserver:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0
However, a df -h /home command returns the following information:
/dev/sda2 10G 1G 9G 10% /home
Which of the following should the technician attempt FIRST to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. mkdir /home
• B. umount nfsserver:/home
• C. rmdir nfsserver:/home/dev/sda2
• D. mount /home

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct step is to attempt to mount /home because the current output indicates that the local filesystem is mounted instead of the NFS share. Options A, B, and C are either irrelevant or incorrect actions that would not address the issue of accessing the NFS share for the home directory.
