Question 630
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: An administrator copies an fstab UUID from a different lab machine and the new host fails to mount data. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: An administrator copies an fstab UUID from a different lab machine and the new host fails to mount data. Underlying reason: Filesystem UUIDs identify specific formatted volumes, not generic device roles. The most direct, approved resolution is: Query local UUIDs with `blkid` and correct the exact fstab entry. Confirm it by checking: The configured UUID maps to the intended local filesystem and mounting succeeds. Sustain the fix by: Validate identifiers on the target host before deployment. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
The intended volume mounts consistently without ambiguity. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because filesystem UUIDs identify specific formatted volumes, not generic device roles.
Planned LV sizes fit actual free extents and creation succeeds. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because filesystem UUIDs identify specific formatted volumes, not generic device roles.
Only the approved volume disappears and the identically named LV elsewhere remains. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because filesystem UUIDs identify specific formatted volumes, not generic device roles.
