Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 85

What is a function of the metadata service in an object-based storage device (OSD)?

Answer options

• A. Generates the file system namespace from the file contents.
• B. Manages both physical and logical disks on which the user data is stored.
• C. Manages the storage space for all remote clients.
• D. Maintains the object IDs and file system namespace mappings.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because the metadata service is responsible for maintaining object IDs and their corresponding file system namespace mappings, essential for data organization. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they describe functions that are not specific to the metadata service in an object-based storage device.
