Hello All,
Maybe any of you know the correct answer to following question from the Assessment of RH294-9.0 training. I would be pleased to get this question answered with the ONLY correct answer from the possible choice below (incl. any explanation in breif). Thank you.

@bogada2000 -

Is this a question from our training materials? I am not sure that this is an official "quiz" question from the RH294 course. I'm thinking the question should be regarding an Ansible module for managing storage too, but again, I can't even find the reference to this as one of our quizzes.

What I can tell you, there is definitely a "mount" module that is part of the ansible.posix collection. There is NOT a parted module (here), most of the items dealing with partitioning and LVM are part of the redhat.rhel_system_roles.storage that can manage whole unpartitioned devices or LVMs on unpartitioned volumes, so you aren't using any LVM modules or components directly.

There is a filesystem module in the community.general collection. There is a parted module also in the community.general collection. There are both lvg  and lvol modules in the community.general collection.

So there isn't just a single answer and ONLY correct answer as there isn't a simple explanation as it greatly depends on the context of the question and it seems like some things might be missing a little based on the question wording. Based on how the question is worded however, and if that is the exact question, the answer would be NFS as there isn't a module managing NFS storage. NFS storage would be mounted with the "mount" module and the services and backend pieces of the NFS server would be managed with other Ansible modules.

The link above shows the community general collection which most of the modules in the list reside. Hopefully the explanation makes sense, but the question isn't a very good question as I made lots of assumptions on what it was attempting to ask.

Hello Travis,
Thank U for quick reply as well as detailed explanation. Appreciated.
Yes, this question statement is exactly the same like I encountered whilst running Assessment of RH294-9.0 training.
I agree with U that the ONLY correct answer to this negative question seems to be NFS storage module that is not available in either ansible.posix, community.general or redhat.rhel_system_roles.storage collections Anyway, thank U for explaining and clarififing my doubts.
Thank U again. Have a good day ahead.
***Merry Christmas*** & !!!Happy New 2025 Year!!!
