Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 106

Which utility would be used to change how often a filesystem check is performed on an ext2 filesystem without losing any data stored on that filesystem?

Answer options

• A. mod2fs
• B. fsck
• C. tune2fs
• D. mke2fs
• E. fixe2fs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, tune2fs, which allows you to adjust various tunable parameters of the ext2 filesystem, including the interval for filesystem checks. Options A (mod2fs), B (fsck), D (mke2fs), and E (fixe2fs) either do not pertain to changing check frequency or are used for different purposes, such as filesystem creation or repair.
