Question

Which directory attribute prevents a directory from being compressed, even if compression is enabled at the volume level?

Options

Explanation

Novell NetWare and OES support directory-level compression attributes that can override volume-level compression settings. The Dc (Don't Compress) attribute specifically prevents a directory from being compressed regardless of volume settings.

Common mistakes.

A. P is the Purge attribute, which causes files to be immediately purged upon deletion rather than being salvageable - it has no effect on compression.
C. Di is the Delete Inhibit attribute, which prevents a directory or file from being deleted - it does not affect compression behavior.
D. Ic stands for 'Immediate Compress,' which forces immediate compression of the directory rather than preventing it - the opposite of what is needed.
E. Ri is the Rename Inhibit attribute, which prevents renaming of a file or directory - it has no effect on compression.
F. Sy is the System attribute, which marks a file or directory as a system resource and hides it - it does not control compression.
G. Ci stands for 'Compress Inhibit' or 'Can't Compress' in some contexts but Dc is the standard documented attribute specifically for preventing directory compression in NetWare.

Concept tested. NetWare directory compression override attributes
