Click the Exhibit button to begin. Which element of the file system design shown in the exhibit violates Novell's recommendations?

The correct answer is C. The USERS directory and subsequent subdirectories should not reside on SYS. Novell recommends keeping user home directories off the SYS volume to prevent user data from filling system space and destabilizing the server.

Why each option

Novell recommends keeping user home directories off the SYS volume to prevent user data from filling system space and destabilizing the server.

AThe MAIL directory should reside on a volume other than SYS.

Novell does not specifically require the MAIL directory to reside on a volume other than SYS; the MAIL directory's location is not the primary design violation identified in standard Novell guidelines.

BThe QUEUES directory should be placed on a volume other than DATA.

Placing the QUEUES directory on the DATA volume is acceptable and does not violate Novell's recommendations; print queues are appropriate on data volumes.

CThe USERS directory and subsequent subdirectories should not reside on SYS.Correct

Novell's file system design guidelines explicitly state that user directories and their subdirectories must not reside on SYS because if users fill the SYS volume, critical NetWare operating system functions can fail; user data belongs on dedicated data volumes separate from SYS.

DThe SYS, DATA, and RESOURCES volume objects should not be placed in the same container.

Placing SYS, DATA, and RESOURCES volume objects in the same NDS container is a valid and common design practice that does not violate any Novell file system recommendation.

EThe REPORTS, PROJECTS, QUEUES, APPS, and CORPAPPS directories shouldn't be split between

Splitting application and data directories across multiple volumes is a common and acceptable practice and is not identified as a violation in Novell's file system design guidelines.
