Which of the following Linux filesystems preallocates a fixed number of inodes at the filesystem's make/creation time and does NOT generate them as needed? (Choose TWO correct answers.)
The Linux filesystems that preallocate a fixed number of inodes at the filesystem's creation time and do not generate them as needed are:
A. ext3
C. ext2
Both ext3 and ext2 filesystems allocate a fixed number of inodes during their creation. The number of inodes is determined at filesystem creation and remains fixed unless the filesystem is resized or reformatted. Inodes are data structures that store metadata about files and directories in a filesystem.
The other options listed are not correct:
B. JFS: JFS (IBM's Journaled File System) does not preallocate a fixed number of inodes at creation time. Inodes are dynamically allocated as needed.
D. XFS: XFS does not preallocate a fixed number of inodes at creation time. It uses a dynamic inode allocation scheme.
E. procfs: procfs is a special filesystem that provides information about processes and system resources in a virtual file system. It does not use inodes, as it is not a traditional file-based filesystem.
