NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP — Question 8

What owns the file system while provisioning NAS?

Answer options

• A. volume
• B. LUN
• C. ONTAP software
• D. host

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a volume is specifically designed to own and manage the file system in a NAS environment. LUNs are used for block storage, while ONTAP software provides the overall management and functionality but does not own the file system directly. The host refers to the server or client accessing the NAS, not the component that owns the file system.
