CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 120

An administrator is installing a new kernel but is getting an error indicating the filesystem is out of space. A disk usage check shows / has plenty of space.
Which of the following BEST represents where the administrator should check next?

Answer options

• A. /var
• B. /proc
• C. /boot
• D. /etc

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is /boot because it is the partition where kernel images are stored, and it often has limited space compared to the root filesystem. The other options, such as /var, /proc, and /etc, are less likely to be the cause of the issue since they are not directly related to kernel storage.
