Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 58

What can the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) be used for? (Choose THREE correct answers.)

Answer options

• A. To create RAID 9 arrays.
• B. To dynamically change the size of logical volumes.
• C. To encrypt logical volumes.
• D. To create snapshots.
• E. To dynamically create or delete logical volumes.

Correct answer: B, D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B, D, and E because LVM allows for dynamic resizing of logical volumes, the creation of snapshots, and the dynamic creation or deletion of logical volumes. Option A is incorrect since LVM does not support RAID 9 arrays, and option C is not a primary function of LVM as it does not handle encryption directly.
