Understanding the Automounter Configuration:

/etc/auto.master:

/net -hosts

/- auto.direct ro

The /- auto.direct ro line indicates:

Mount Point Prefix:/ (direct mounts)

Map File:auto.direct

Global Mount Options:ro (read-only)

/etc/auto.direct:

/nfs1 host01:/export/share1

/nfs2 -sync host01:/export/share2

/nfs3 host02:/export/share3

/nfs1 and /nfs3:

No specific mount options in auto.direct.

Inherit the ro option from /etc/auto.master.

/nfs2:

Specifies -sync option in auto.direct.

Inherits ro from /etc/auto.master.

Mount options are ro,sync.

Mount Options Resolution:

Global Options (ro) apply to all entries unless overridden.

Per-Entry Options in auto.direct override or supplement global options.

Effective Mount Options:

/nfs1:

ro (from /etc/auto.master)

Default NFS options (async unless sync is specified)

/nfs2:

ro (from /etc/auto.master)

sync (specified in auto.direct)

/nfs3:

ro (from /etc/auto.master)

Default NFS options (async)

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Configuring File Systems-Automounter Configuration:

"Options specified in the master map apply to all entries in the map unless overridden by entries in the map itself."

NFS Default Options:

"By default, NFS mounts are asynchronous (async) unless the sync option is specified."

Conclusion:

/nfs1 and /nfs3:Mounted with ro,async.

/nfs2:Mounted with ro,sync.

Correct Option:A
