Disk pooling

Data deduplication

Data multiplexing

Storage optimizing

Which Linux command will mount a virtual disk into the file system?

Mkfs /mnt/vdisk mydisk.img

Mount /mnt/vdisk mydisk.img

Mount mydisk.img /mnt/vdisk

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

Message Digest 5 (MD5)

Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)

Journaling

Due to the limitations of MBR partitioning, what type of partition must be created in order to utilize logical drives?

Primary partition

Extended partition

Logical partition

Extra partition

An administrator wants to utilize a RAID volume that provides redundancy using disk striping with parity. What type of RAID should the administrator select?

RAID0

RAID1

RAID3

RAID5

What type of volume utilizes two or more physical disks, and fills each disk sequentially, rather than using striping?

Simple volume

Spanned volume

Striped volume

Mirrored volume

If a disk pool becomes full, how does Windows Server 2012 respond?

More space is automatically provisioned from available drives in the primordial pool

Affected volumes are marked as read-only until more space is provisioned

The disk pool is moved to an offline state until more physical storage is added

The server notifies all users with data in the disk pool in order to encourage data cleaning activities

Which tool in Windows should you use to manage storage spaces?

Virtual Disk Manager

Logical Volume Manager

Disk Management

File and Storage Services

Direct Attached Storage

Storage Area Network

Local storage

Network Attached Storage

A hard drive or solid state drive that is physically installed inside of a workstation would generally be considered to be what type of storage?

Local storage

Direct-Attached Storage

Network Attached Storage

Storage Area Network

Which of the following is NOT a Linux/Unix file or disk management command?
