CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 175

A new disk was presented to a server as /dev/sdd. The systems administrator needs to check if a partition table is on that disk. Which of the following commands can show this information?

Answer options

• A. lsscsi
• B. fdisk
• C. blkid
• D. partprobe

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct command is 'fdisk', as it is specifically designed to manipulate disk partition tables and can display existing partition information. While 'lsscsi' lists SCSI devices, 'blkid' is used to find block device attributes, and 'partprobe' notifies the OS of partition table changes, none of these provide a direct view of the partition table like 'fdisk' does.
