Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 21

An administrator deletes a large amount of data from a Volume Group presented to a Linux VM. The administrator notices that the deleted data has not been reclaimed as usable storage.
What action should be taken to reclaim the storage capacity?

Answer options

• A. Shrink the Volume Group that is associated with the Linux VM
• B. Unmount the Volume Group and then Remount the Volume Group
• C. Enable the unman operation on the Linux VMD. Run Defrag on the Linux VM

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to unmount and then remount the Volume Group, as this allows the system to recognize the available space after deletion. The other options do not effectively reclaim the storage; shrinking the Volume Group could further complicate matters, while enabling unman or defragmenting does not directly address the issue of reclaiming deleted space.
