I’m surprised df -m is a valid option, didn’t know that!

I thought du was for disk usage, not mounted files!

Wait, ls? That doesn't show mounted filesystems, right?

I feel like `ls` is not the right choice here. It lists files and directories, not mounted file systems.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe both `df` and `df -m` are correct because they provide details about mounted file systems.

I'm not so sure about `du`, though. I remember it being used for disk usage, but not specifically for mounted file systems.

I think the `df` command is definitely one of the answers since it shows disk space usage, right?

I'm a little confused by this question. I know there are commands like du and df that can show file system information, but I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate here. I'll have to review my notes on Linux file system commands to make sure I choose the right one.

Okay, let's see here. I think the key is that the question is asking for information about all mounted file systems, not just disk usage. So I'm guessing C, df, is the right answer since that shows the mounted file systems. But I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know there are a few different commands that can display file system information, but I'm not sure which one is the best fit for this specific question. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question. I'm pretty confident the answer is C, df, since that's the command I've used before to check mounted file systems.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The minimum for an OpenShift v4 cluster is 1 temporary bootstrap machine, 3 control plane machines, and at least 2 worker/compute machines.

D, 'df -m' looks good too. Showing the file system info in megabytes is handy.
