A company has a legacy server that uses a BIOS-based system (not UEFI). The administrator needs to add a new 3 TB disk for data storage. The disk will not be used for booting. Which partitioning scheme should be used?

GPT, because the disk is larger than 2 TB.

GPT, but only if the system is UEFI.

MBR with a single partition, because it is simpler.

MBR, because the system is BIOS-based.

An administrator is working on a server with a 2 TB disk that uses MBR. The administrator needs to create a new partition but has already used all four primary partitions. Which action should the administrator take to create an additional partition?

Delete one of the existing primary partitions and create a new one.

Use fdisk to create a new partition on the disk without deleting any existing ones.

Create an extended partition and then create logical partitions within it.

Convert the MBR partition table to GPT.

A technician has just created a new filesystem on /dev/sdf1 and wants to mount it at /mnt/newdisk. The mount point directory already exists. Which command mounts the filesystem?

`umount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/newdisk`
