Discuss Cisco 200-201 Exam Topic 3 Question 117

Syslog collecting software is installed on the server For the log containment, a disk with FAT type partition is used An engineer determined that log files are being corrupted when the 4 GB tile size is exceeded. Which action resolves the issue?

AAdd space to the existing partition and lower the retention penod.

BUse FAT32 to exceed the limit of 4 GB.

CUse the Ext4 partition because it can hold files up to 16 TB.

DUse NTFS partition for log file containment

Suggested Answer: B

FAT is a file system that organizes and stores data on a disk. However, FAT has a limitation of 4 GB for the maximum file size, which means that any file larger than that will be corrupted. To resolve this issue, the engineer can use FAT32, which is an improved version of FAT that supports files up to 32 GB. Alternatively, the engineer can use other file systems that have higher file size limits, such as Ext4 or NTFS.Reference:= Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals, Module 5: Security Policies and Procedures, Lesson 5.1: Data Retention, Topic 5.1.1: Data Retention Policies and Procedures

I’m leaning towards D. NTFS has good features for security.

Robt 7 months ago

I feel like A won't really solve the problem long-term.

Sabrina 7 months ago

D seems practical too. NTFS is reliable for log files.

Azzie 7 months ago

I agree, but C is also a strong choice. Ext4 has a huge capacity.

Avery 7 months ago

I think option B is the best. FAT32 can handle larger files.

Tracie 7 months ago

Wait, can FAT32 really handle more than 4 GB? I thought it couldn't!

Emogene 8 months ago

Ext4 is a solid choice, but NTFS is more compatible for logs.

Kerrie 8 months ago

I thought FAT32 was the way to go?

Merilyn 8 months ago

Definitely go with NTFS for better file handling!

Rocco 8 months ago

Wow, 4 GB log files? Someone's been busy! I'd go with C to future-proof this setup.

Macy 9 months ago

Option A is the most practical. Just add more space and reduce the retention period.

Marylou 9 months ago

I'd go with D. NTFS is the standard for enterprise-level log management.

Lacey 9 months ago

I feel like lowering the retention period might help, but I’m not convinced that just adding space would fix the corruption problem.

Bo 9 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the partition types. I thought Ext4 was a good option, but does it really solve the corruption issue?

Taryn 9 months ago

I think we practiced a question like this in class, and I recall that NTFS supports larger files, so maybe option D is the right choice?

Laquita 9 months ago

I remember something about FAT file systems having a 4 GB limit, so switching to FAT32 might be a good idea, but I'm not entirely sure.

Rodolfo 10 months ago

I think the answer is C. Ext4 can handle files up to 16 TB, which should be more than enough to prevent the log files from being corrupted.

Leonardo 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure the FAT file system has a 4 GB limit, so that's probably the issue here. Using FAT32 or Ext4 would be a good way to get around that.

Margart 10 months ago

Definitely B. FAT32 can handle files larger than 4 GB, so that's the easiest solution.

Magnolia 10 months ago

FAT partitions can't handle files over 4 GB.

Shawnda 10 months ago

Option C is the way to go. Ext4 is the way to handle those massive log files.

Elli 11 months ago

C is my pick. Ext4 is modern and efficient for logs.

Emilio 11 months ago

I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't using NTFS be the best option since it can handle much larger file sizes than FAT or Ext4?

Isabelle 11 months ago

Okay, let me think this through. The key seems to be that the log files are being corrupted when the 4 GB file size is exceeded. So we need to find a solution that can handle larger file sizes.

Daniel 11 months ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not too familiar with the specifics of different file systems and their limitations.

NTFS is also a solid choice for log containment.

Elke 6 months ago

↳ replying to Daniel

What about switching to Ext4? Seems more reliable.

Heike 6 months ago

↳ replying to Daniel

Yeah, it can handle files over 4 GB, so it might work.

Veronica 6 months ago

↳ replying to Daniel

But isn't FAT32 limited too?

Ayesha 6 months ago

↳ replying to Daniel

I think using FAT32 could be a good option.
