DCA Question #2: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which one of the following commands will show a list of volumes for a specific container?

Options

• A'docker container logs nginx --volumes'
• B'docker container inspect nginx'
• C'docker volume inspect nginx'
• D'docker volume logs nginx --containers'

Explanation

To view the volumes associated with a specific container, the docker container inspect command is used to retrieve detailed low-level information about that container.

Common mistakes.

• A. The docker container logs command retrieves the standard output and error streams of a container and does not provide information about its attached volumes.
• C. The docker volume inspect <volume_name> command displays information about a specific Docker volume, not about which volumes are linked to a particular container.
• D. docker volume logs is not a valid Docker command and cannot be used to list volumes for a container.
