I thought ext4 was the way to go now, why stick with ext3?

Isn't there a risk of data loss if we mess up the partitioning?

Wait, do we really need to reboot after creating the partition? Seems unnecessary.

I prefer option B, it's more thorough with the verification step.

Just a heads up, both options start with fdisk and end with editing fstab.

I definitely recall needing to update /etc/fstab, but I can't remember if the order of the options matters.

I feel like I might have mixed up the commands for creating the filesystem. Is it mkfs or mke2fs?

I think option B is better because it includes the step to verify the partition list with 'P' before writing. That seems important.

I remember we practiced using fdisk, but I'm not sure if I should choose logical or primary for this partition.

Based on my understanding of the vEdge platform, I believe the correct answer is D - non-Ethernet interfaces. I'll mark that one.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll first identify the costs that are clearly general and administrative, like salaries and office supplies. Then I'll consider the other costs and determine if any of them should also be included in that category.

I think this might relate to inventory larceny, but I'm not entirely sure if thatâ€™s the correct term for this situation.
