101-500 Exam - Question 61


Instead of supplying an explicit device in /etc/fstab for mounting, what other options may be used to identify the intended partition? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AE

To identify partitions for mounting in /etc/fstab without specifying an explicit device, you can use either the LABEL or the UUID options. LABEL allows you to use a descriptive name assigned to the filesystem, while UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier which is a unique identifier assigned to each filesystem. These options provide flexibility and reliability, especially when device paths may change but the filesystem identifiers remain constant.
