Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 20 discussion

C Explanation: Explanation: Since Windows systems support FAT32 and NTFS "out of the box" and Linux supports a whole range of them including FAT32 and NTFS, it is highly recommended to format the partition or disk you want to share in either FAT32 or NTFS, but since FAT32 has a file size limit of 4.2 GB, if you happen to work with huge files, then it is better you use NTFS

To transfer 20GB of data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer, the technician will most likely use the exFAT filesystem on the USB drive. While FAT32 is a common choice for USB drives, it has a maximum file size limit of 4GB, which would not be suitable for transferring a 20GB file. NTFS is another option, but it is not natively supported by Linux systems, so the technician may need to install additional software or drivers on the Linux computer to access the NTFS-formatted USB drive. The ext4 filesystem is commonly used on Linux systems, but it is not compatible with Windows without the installation of third-party software. ExFAT, on the other hand, is supported natively by both Linux and Windows, has a large file size limit, and is suitable for transferring large files between the two operating systems.

D. exFAT is ideal for USB drives used between different operating systems (like Linux and Windows) because it supports larger file sizes (greater than 4GB) and is compatible with both Windows and Linux. This makes it a good choice for transferring large amounts of data. Although Linux can read and write to NTFS drives. However, exFAT is generally preferred for USB drives due to its broader compatibility across systems.

D. exFAT would be the most likely filesystem for the technician to use. While FAT32 and NTFS are supported by both Linux and Windows, FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit and NTFS is not natively supported by some Linux distributions. Ext4 is a Linux filesystem and is not natively supported by Windows. ExFAT is supported by both Linux and Windows and does not have the 4GB file size limit of FAT32, making it a good choice for transferring large files.

I voted D. The FAT series is compatible with both Linux and Windows. Fat32 supports up to 8TB partition size without having a file bigger than 4GB. The exFAT support 128 Petabytes of partition size, and files can be any size up to that point(128PB). NTFS is more for installing an OS than USB unless you will use it for other consoles. The ext4 file system is not compatible with Windows.

NTFS: This is the default filesystem for Windows partitions that offers better performance, security, and reliability than FAT32. NTFS supports journaling, encryption, compression, long file names, access control, etc. However, NTFS is not very compatible with other operating systems and devices. Mac can read NTFS but needs third-party tools to write to it. Linux can also handle NTFS but may have some issues. Many other devices may not support NTFS at all

FAT32 - 32GB or smaller USB/SD card, used on Windows and, Mac, Android phones. NTFS - Windows disk partitions, transfer 4GB+ big files, gaming disk. exFAT - 64GB or bigger external hard drive or USB drives, used on Windows and Mac. EXT4 - Create a Linux partition for a specific environment

Write-enabled NTFS on Linux is a relatively recent innovation. The mount utility is far safer now, but most flavors of Linux mounts NTFS as read-only. ExFAT, on the other hand, has been supported both ways for a much longer period of time.

exFAT is the most "universally" compatible option of the 4. exFAT covers all the bases. It supports single file sizes in a size range larger than the largest available consumer disk drives, let alone removeable media. In addition, it's generally compatible with Linux, due to being a fairly simple system overall. FAT32 only supports file sizes up to 4 GB, which may or may not be acceptable for this transfer, as we don't know if it's a single 20 GB file or multiple 4GB or less files. Because it isn't stated, don't assume multiple files, go only with what is supplied. 20GB, so CompTIA probably wants to see that you know FAT32 doesn't work with files greater than 4GB. ext4 would work with Linux, but I'll be honest, in over 5 years working in IT, I have never formatted a drive ext4 for desktop level use. NTFS was developed as a primarily "Windows" file format, and while some version of Linux may work with it, there is the chance for compatibility issues.

C you can use the NTFS file system on a USB drive. Here's how to format a USB drive to NTFS in Windows: Right-click the USB drive Select Format In the File system drop-down menu, select NTFS Click Start to begin formatting If you chose the Better Performance policy, you'll need to use the Safely Remove Hardware notification to disconnect the device safely

C--? NTFS is compatible with Linux, but only for read/write support. NTFS is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft and is primarily used on Windows-based systems. However, Linux and BSD can use NTFS read/write support with NTFS3 in Linux and NTFS-3G in BSD.

FAT32 is a variant of FAT that uses a 32-bit allocation table, nominally supporting volumes up to 2 TB. The maximum file size is 4 GB minus 1 byte. C

GUYS THE ANSWER IS NTFS ,C

exFAT is a file system introduced by microsoft in 2006 an optimized for flash drives such as USB flash drivesan sd cards .

To transfer data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer, you can use the exFAT file system. This file system is supported by both Linux and Windows operating systems and can handle files larger than 4 GB

Since we are talking about USB, it is exFAT

D. exFAT exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) is a filesystem that is compatible with both Windows and Linux and can handle large files and volumes, making it suitable for transferring 20GB of data. It's a good choice when you need a filesystem that works well on both operating systems and can handle large file sizes. FAT32 (Option A) is an older filesystem that has limitations on file size and is not ideal for large files. ext4 (Option B) is a Linux-specific filesystem and may not be fully compatible with Windows. NTFS (Option C) is a Windows-specific filesystem and may not be the best choice for use with Linux.
