XK0-005 · Question #10710

A new hard drive /dev/sdd was added to a server. Which of the following commands will create a partition table with a single partition /dev/sdd1 that consumes the entire disk?

The correct answer is A. echo 'type=83' | sudo sfdisk /dev/sdd. The sfdisk tool is used to manipulate partition tables in Linux. Option A creates a single partition on /dev/sdd of type 83 (Linux filesystem). type=83 specifies the partition type for Linux. The command pipes this configuration to sfdisk to apply it directly to /dev/sdd.
