Isolating growth of variable data | LinuC Level 1 101 Exam original practice question

1.05.1Basic

Design a server where logs and queues may grow rapidly.

Limit the impact on the root filesystem if they consume their allocation.

Which directory is the best separation candidate?

Hint 1: Focus on the requirement

Choose the read-only command that lists modules currently loaded by the kernel.

Hint 2: Key terms

Review the short hardware and kernel-interface definitions before comparing the choices.

lsmod: Lists modules currently loaded in the running kernel.
Kernel module: A loadable unit such as a driver or filesystem implementation.
Reference count: Information about users that currently depend on a module.

Detailed explanation

Correctlsmod

Incorrect. /usr mainly holds shared programs and read-mostly data.

Incorrectinsmod

Incorrect. /boot stores boot files, not growing logs and queues.

Incorrectrmmod

Correct. /var is the main location for logs, spools, and caches.

Incorrectmodprobe

Incorrect. /etc stores configuration rather than variable log data.

An example you can run in a temporary verification environment.

lsmod | sed -n '1,6p'

Module、Size、Used byの見出しとロード済みモジュール

Environment: Linuxカーネル / kmod lsmod
Prefer read-only inspection or a disposable system when testing hardware commands.
Device visibility and module behavior depend on the host and virtualization environment.

Foundation review

Listing modules is different from inserting or removing one.

Inspect the table without changing kernel state.
