CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
A systems administrator installs a 4 TB SATA drive in a RHEL 9 file server. After creating a single partition with fdisk, the mounted XFS file system reports only 2 TB of usable space. Running parted -l shows:
Disk /dev/sdc: 4000GB
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 2000GB 2000GB primary xfs
Attempts to add another partition fail with the message, "partition length exceeds the msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295 sectors." Which action will allow the server to use the drive's full capacity without replacing hardware?
Recreate the disk label as GPT and build an XFS partition that spans the full 4 TB.
Flash the drive so it reports 4096-byte sectors instead of 512-byte sectors.
Enable Large Block Addressing (LBA) in firmware to permit access beyond 2 TB.
Create two 2 TB primary partitions and merge them with LVM into one logical volume.
