A user is unable to write data to an NFS datastore at /mnt/storage. A df command indicates 50% free inodes. Which of the following commands should the user attempt NEXT to diagnose the situation?

Question

Options

• Adf -h /mnt/storage
• Bdu -sh /mnt
• Cfdisk -l /mnt/storage
• Ddf -i /mnt/storage

• A
  75% (21)
• B
  14% (4)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Since the plain 'df' command already confirmed 50% free inodes (not the problem), the next logical step is to check whether the filesystem itself is out of disk space. 'df -h /mnt/storage' shows human-readable disk space usage for that mount point. If disk space is 100% used, writes will fail even with free inodes. 'du -sh /mnt' only summarizes usage without diagnosing the problem. 'fdisk -l' lists partition tables and is irrelevant here. 'df -i' checks inode usage, which was already assessed.
