Three of the 120 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which type of file system is created by mkfs when it is executed with the block device name only and without any additional parameters?

  1. XFS
  2. VFAT
  3. ext2
  4. ext3
  5. ext4
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. ext2

When mkfs is executed with only a block device name and no additional parameters, it defaults to creating an ext2 filesystem. This is the traditional default behavior of the mkfs command without any filesystem type specification.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. XFS requires explicit specification with mkfs.xfs
  • B. VFAT requires explicit specification with mkfs.vfat
  • D. ext3 requires explicit specification with mkfs.ext3
  • E. ext4 requires explicit specification with mkfs.ext4

Question 2

Which umask value ensures that new directories can be read, written and listed by their owning user, read and listed by their owning group and are not accessible at all for everyone else?

  1. 0750
  2. 0027
  3. 0036
  4. 7640
  5. 0029
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 0027

The umask 0027 subtracts from the default directory permissions (0777). Subtracting 0027 yields 0750, which gives rwx to owner, r-x to group, and no permissions to others. This matches the requirement: owner can read/write/list, group can read/list, others have no access.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. 0750 is the resulting permission, not the umask value
  • C. umask 0036 would result in 0741 permissions, not the required 0750
  • D. 7640 is not a valid umask format
  • E. umask 0029 would result in 0748 permissions, not the required 0750

Question 3

Which of the following commands changes the number of days before the ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 has to run through a full filesystem check while booting?

  1. tune2fs -d 200 /dev/sda1
  2. tune2fs -i 200 /dev/sda1
  3. tune2fs -c 200 /dev/sda1
  4. tune2fs -n 200 /dev/sda1
  5. tune2fs --days 200 /dev/sda1
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. tune2fs -i 200 /dev/sda1

The tune2fs -i option specifies the maximum interval between filesystem checks in days. The -i flag sets the time-based check interval, while -c sets mount-count based checks. The -d, -n, and --days options are not valid tune2fs parameters for this purpose.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. The -d option is not a valid tune2fs parameter
  • C. The -c option sets checks based on mount count, not days
  • D. The -n option is not a valid tune2fs parameter for check intervals
  • E. The --days option is not a valid tune2fs parameter

Fail the 101-500 and it costs another US$200. This pack is US$39, paid once, and refunded if you fail.

What makes the 101-500 hard

LPIC-1 requires two exams to certify, and 101-500 is the first. It covers system architecture, Linux installation and package management, GNU and Unix commands, and filesystems and devices.

Unlike most IT certification exams, LPI includes fill-in-the-blank questions where the exact command or path has to be typed with no options to guide the answer. Knowing the concept is not the same as producing the exact syntax on demand under exam conditions.

GNU and Unix commands is far and away the biggest topic, weight 26 out of 60, so roughly 26 of the 60 questions come from it alone. Candidates who spend equal time on all four topics are misreading the exam. This pack has 120 practice questions for the 101-500, including every fill-in-the-blank style question.

About the exam

LPIC-1 is the Linux Professional Institute's first professional certification, validating foundational Linux system administration skills across any distribution. The 101-500 is the first of two required exams; passing both 101-500 and 102-500 earns the full LPIC-1 and is the required prerequisite for LPIC-2. The current version is 5.0. There are no formal prerequisites, and the certification is valid for 5 years. LPI exams include fill-in-the-blank questions requiring exact command syntax.
