Which TWO groups of actions will create a CDROM file system for device cd0 and mount this on /cdfs? (Select 2)

The correct answer is B. Define cd0 mount point as /cdfs in file /etc/cdromd.conf startsrc -s cdromd D. crfs-vcdrfs-pro-d'cd0'-mVcdfs'. A CDROM filesystem on AIX can be established either by configuring the cdromd daemon or by using the crfs command to define a cdrfs-type filesystem entry.

Options

  • Acdutil-s-kcd0/cdfs

Why each option

A CDROM filesystem on AIX can be established either by configuring the cdromd daemon or by using the crfs command to define a cdrfs-type filesystem entry.

Acdutil-s-kcd0/cdfs

cdutil is not a valid AIX command for creating or mounting CDROM filesystems.

BDefine cd0 mount point as /cdfs in file /etc/cdromd.conf startsrc -s cdromdCorrect

Defining the device and mount point in /etc/cdromd.conf and starting the cdromd daemon with 'startsrc -s cdromd' is a valid method - the daemon reads the configuration and automatically mounts cd0 at /cdfs.

CDefine cd0 mount point as /cdfs in /etc/filesystems as vfs type jfs2 mount /cdfs

CDROM devices require the cdrfs filesystem type, not jfs2 - defining a CDROM device with vfs type jfs2 is incorrect and will not mount the disc.

Dcrfs-vcdrfs-pro-d'cd0'-mVcdfs'Correct

The crfs command with '-v cdrfs' specifies the CDROM filesystem type, '-p ro' sets the required read-only permission, '-d cd0' identifies the device, and '-m /cdfs' sets the mount point - this correctly creates the filesystem definition for mounting.

Emkfs-v/cdfs/dev/cd0

The mkfs command creates journaled filesystems on writable block devices and cannot be used to define a read-only CDROM filesystem for cd0.
