Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 461 discussion

A. ext3 ext3 is a journaling file system that provides features like: Journaling: It keeps a log of file system changes, which allows for efficient recovery in case of system crashes or power outages. Data integrity: It helps to prevent file corruption by ensuring that data is written to the disk correctly. Easy recovery: Journaling allows for faster and more reliable data recovery in the event of a system failure. While other file systems like exFAT and NTFS offer some features, ext3 is specifically designed to meet the requirements of tracking changes, reducing file corruption, and facilitating easy data recovery.

The best filesystem type that meets these requirements is A. ext3. The ext3 filesystem in Linux tracks all changes (journaling), reduces the possibility of file corruption, and makes data recovery easier compared to the other listed filesystem types.

The key information in the Question is 'A Linux technician'

Ext3 (Third Extended File System) is a journaled filesystem used in many Linux distributions. It employs journaling, which tracks changes to the filesystem before committing them, reducing the risk of file corruption in the event of a system crash or power failure. Additionally, the journaling feature makes data recovery easier and more reliable as it provides a log of changes that can be used to restore the filesystem to a consistent state after a crash.

The main benefit of ext3 is that it allows journaling. Journaling has a dedicated area in the file system, where all the changes are tracked.

Only NTFS here support change tracking.
