CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 96

An administrator is tasked with increasing the size of the volume /dev/vg/lv to 20GB. Which of the following BEST illustrates the steps the administrator should take?

Answer options

• A. vgextend ג€"L20G /dev/vg/lv; resizelv /dev/vg/lv
• B. parted ג€"L20G /dev/vg/lv; remount /dev/vg/lv
• C. mkfs ג€"L20G /dev/vg/lv; tune2fs /dev/vg/lv
• D. lvextend ג€"L20G /dev/vg/lv; resize2fs /dev/vg/lv

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because 'lvextend' is the command used to increase the size of a logical volume, and 'resize2fs' is used to resize the filesystem to occupy the new size. Option A is incorrect because 'vgextend' is for adding physical volumes to a volume group, not for resizing. Options B and C are incorrect as they involve commands that do not pertain to resizing logical volumes or filesystems correctly.
