LPIC-3 Exam 300 v3 (Mixed Environments) — Question 2

Which of the following smb.conf options turns a regular file share into a DFS share?

Answer options

• A. msdfs root = yes
• B. addfs support = yes
• C. dfs forward = yes
• D. follow symlinks = yes
• E. proxy share = yes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as setting 'msdfs root = yes' specifically designates a share as a Distributed File System (DFS) root. The other options do not serve to convert a regular file share into a DFS share, as they relate to different functionalities within Samba configuration.
