A server administrator is connecting a Linux server to a storage array. The administrator wants to use a file-based storage protocol to store data on the server. Which of the following protocols will

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage. It is inherently file-based and is a widely used, native protocol for file sharing in Linux and Unix-like environments.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a block-level storage protocol that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks, primarily used for connecting to SANs, not file-based access.

Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is a block-level storage protocol that extends the SCSI protocol over TCP/IP networks, primarily used for connecting to SANs, not file-based access.

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a dialect of SMB (Server Message Block) and is primarily associated with Windows file sharing; while Linux can act as a client or server, NFS is generally considered the native and preferred file-based protocol for Linux.
