How to mount a file system temporarily?

technology programming languages

  1. mount -t

  2. mount -R

  3. mount

  4. mount -Rt

Show answer
Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To mount a file system temporarily, you can use the mount -t command. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

A) mount -t - This option is correct because the -t flag is used to specify the file system type. By using this flag followed by the desired file system type, you can mount the file system temporarily.

B) mount -R - This option is incorrect because the -R flag is used to mount a file system read-only, not for temporarily mounting a file system.

C) mount - This option is incorrect because it does not specify the file system type to be mounted. Without specifying the file system type, the command will not be able to successfully mount the file system temporarily.

D) mount -Rt - This option is incorrect because it combines the incorrect options mentioned in options B and C. The -R flag is used for mounting a file system read-only, and the -t flag is used to specify the file system type. Combining them in this way will not result in the desired temporary mounting of a file system.

The correct answer is A) mount -t. This option is correct because it includes the necessary flag to specify the file system type, allowing you to mount the file system temporarily.

What is /proc/kcore process?

technology programming languages

  1. The process file name of init

  2. The proc file name of RAM

  3. Invalid file

  4. The core dump file

Show answer
Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose of the /proc/kcore file in the /proc directory.

Option A) The process file name of init - This option is incorrect. The /proc/kcore file is not related to the process file name of init. The process file name of init is typically /sbin/init or /usr/sbin/init.

Option B) The proc file name of RAM - This option is correct. The /proc/kcore file represents the physical RAM (Random Access Memory) of the system. It is a virtual file that provides a view of the system's memory in a format that can be accessed and examined by user processes.

Option C) Invalid file - This option is incorrect. The /proc/kcore file is a valid file in the /proc directory.

Option D) The core dump file - This option is incorrect. The /proc/kcore file is not the core dump file. A core dump file is typically created when a program terminates abnormally and contains a snapshot of the program's memory at the time of the crash.

The correct answer is B) The proc file name of RAM. This option is correct because the /proc/kcore file represents the physical RAM of the system.
