Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

What is in the LDM database?

several blocks of different types and a transaction log
only VBLK blocks
only VBLK blocks and a transaction log

Where is information about partitions and volumes stored?

in the first sector of the disk
in PRIVHEAD
in LDM metadata base

Where is PRIVHEAD located on the disk with MBR?

in sector 6
in sector 8
in sector 2
in sector 1

Based on what a component is linked with a volume?

component is not linked with volume
parent volume ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object
this object ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object

LDM metadata can occupy several megabytes

true
false

Check why PRIVHEAD is that important

it allows to identify disks
it allows to bind LDM components
it allows to determine RAID configuration
it contains the base sector from which all addresses throughout LDM metadata are measured

There are several copies of PRIVHEAD stored on the disk

false
true

How a partition start is calculated?

(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)*(LBAs per physical sector)
512*(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)
512*(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)

Check what LDM metadata contains

VBLK blocks
EFI PART signature
PRIVHEAD
partition GUID

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true
