A NetBSD 9.2 server needs to be upgraded to 10.0. The administrator wants to use the official binary upgrade tool but needs to ensure that the upgrade does not overwrite custom files in /etc. What should the administrator do?

Run 'pkg_add -u' to update packages and then reboot.

Run 'build.sh release' in /usr/src to build from source, which preserves /etc.

Run 'uname -r' to check the current release before upgrading.

Run 'sysupgrade auto' and then review and merge any configuration changes in /etc.

A junior administrator is installing FreeBSD on a new server and has reached the partitioning stage of the default installer. The server has a single 500 GB disk and will host a web application that benefits from separate filesystems for /var and /home. The administrator wants to use the installer's default guided partitioning scheme rather than manual partitioning. What should the administrator do to achieve separate filesystems for /var and /home?

Select the 'Auto (ZFS)' partitioning option and then modify the proposed layout to add separate datasets for /var and /home.

Select 'Shell' at the partitioning menu and run gpart to create partitions manually.

Select the 'Auto (UFS)' partitioning option and accept the default layout without changes.

Choose 'Manual' partitioning and create a single partition for the entire disk.
