Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Storage (HCIA-Storage) — Question 44

Which of the following statements are NOT true? (Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. Both the CIFS as well as the NFS protocol requires file format conversion.
• B. One disadvantage of CIFS is that Windows clients must be equipped with dedicated software.
• C. NFS is a stateless protocol while CIFS is a stateful protocol. NFS can be automatically recovered from a fault while CIFS cannot.
• D. CIFS is a network-based sharing protocol. It has high demands on network transmission reliability, so it usually uses TCP/IP.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because CIFS does not require file format conversion as it operates on the Windows file system, while NFS is designed for UNIX/Linux systems. Option B is also not true as CIFS can be used with Windows clients without dedicated software; it is inherently supported by the OS. Options C and D are accurate statements about the protocols.
