In response to the df command, the system reports a Use% of 98% for the filesystem mounted on /home. Which one of the following best describes the significance of this information?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Files on /home are consuming 98% of the /home filesystem
💡 Explanation:
The df command reports filesystem disk space usage, and Use% 98% means that 98% of the /home filesystem's storage capacity is consumed by files. It does not report I/O activity (that would be iostat), physical disk usage across all filesystems, or inode exhaustion (which would be reported separately as IUse%). The Use% field specifically refers to the percentage of filesystem capacity used.
