<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To anyone out there who has taken the Installation
Configuration portion of the Certification,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will be taking the 1st test, Installation and
Configuration, on Oct. 1 and need to have a question cleared</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>up before that date.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the practice questions at the end of the book,
in Chapter 2: Base Systems, question 22 is a puzzle to me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is how it reads:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>22. Which of the following statement(s) about the
file system is false?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A. Swap partitions are not included in the
/etc/fstab.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>B. Swap partitions are not mounted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>C. The fstab file contains a special entry for the
/proc file system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>D. The mount command may be used only by the
superuser.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My dilemma is this. The book has (A) as the correct
answer, but when I open the /etc/fstab file with the VIM editor I see an entry
of all</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> the file systems mounted including the
swap partition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the correct answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all who respond to my
dilemma.</FONT></DIV>
