CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 93

A Linux administrator is alerted to a storage capacity issue on a server without a specific mount point or directory. Which of the following commands would be MOST helpful for troubleshooting? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. parted
• B. df
• C. mount
• D. du
• E. fdisk
• F. dd
• G. ls

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The 'df' command provides an overview of disk space usage across all mounted filesystems, making it essential for identifying capacity issues. The 'du' command helps to analyze disk usage in directories, which can further clarify where space is being consumed. The other options either manage partitions, provide file details, or do not directly address disk capacity.
