Understanding logrotate:

The logrotate utility manages log files by rotating, compressing, and removing them based on configuration.

It helps prevent log files from consuming excessive disk space.

Option A: Rotating Log Files as Specified

Explanation:

logrotate rotates logs according to the specified criteria (size, time interval).

Rotation involves renaming the current log file and starting a new one.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Managing Log Files-Using logrotate:

"The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of log files by automatically rotating, compressing, and removing log files."

Option C: Compressing Log Files

Explanation:

logrotate can compress old log files after rotation to save disk space.

Compression is typically done using gzip.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Managing Log Files-Configuring logrotate:

"You can configure logrotate to compress rotated log files by using the compress option."

Option B (Correct):Thefdisk -lcommand lists information about all available disks, including their sizes, partition tables, and partition details.

Option E (Correct):fdiskcannot handle disks larger than 2 TB because it is limited to the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme. To manage larger disks (over 2 TB), the GUID Partition Table (GPT) is required, andfdiskdoes not fully support GPT.

Option A (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not support HFS (Hierarchical File System, used by macOS). It primarily supports MBR and has limited support for GPT.

Option C (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not support partitioning disks larger than 2 TB with GPT;gdiskorpartedshould be used instead.

Option D (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not divide logical devices into block disks called partitions; it operates on physical storage devices to create partitions.
