CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Practice Question

An administrator is diagnosing an issue where a filesystem on their Linux server appears to be mounted read-only, preventing users from writing data. Which mount option should have been specified during the mounting process to allow both read and write operations on the filesystem?

rw
sync
user
ro

Answer Description

The 'rw' option is used to mount a filesystem with both read and write permissions. If a filesystem is unintentionally mounted as read-only, ensuring that the 'rw' option is set during the mount process will resolve the issue, allowing users to perform write operations once more. Other options, such as 'ro', 'sync', and 'user', have specific uses: 'ro' mounts the filesystem as read-only, 'sync' ensures that input/output operations are done synchronously, and 'user' allows an ordinary user to mount the filesystem without requiring superuser privileges. However, these do not address the problem described.
