Why each option

Novell's file system guideline requires that the QUEUES directory be placed on a volume other than SYS to prevent print job data from consuming space on the critical operating system volume.

AUsers' home directories should be moved to the SYS volume.

Novell's guideline states the opposite - home directories should be kept off the SYS volume and placed on dedicated DATA volumes to protect SYS.

BThe QUEUES directory should be moved to a volume other than SYS.Correct

Novell explicitly recommends that the QUEUES directory, which stores print queue spool data, be located on a non-SYS volume. The SYS volume is reserved for NetWare OS files, NDS/eDirectory data, and core services. Allowing print queues on SYS risks filling the volume with spool files, which can crash NetWare services that depend on free space in SYS.

CThe SYSTEM directory should be moved to the DATA volume or the RESOURCES volume.

The SYSTEM directory is a core NetWare operating system directory that must remain on SYS; relocating it would break server functionality.

DThe APPS and the CORPAPPS directories should be moved to the same volume as users' home directories.

Novell's guidelines do not require application directories and home directories to share the same volume; they are typically separated onto different volumes.
