XYZ Manufacturing creates made-to-order products and sells them to distributors in North America. The companys headquarters are in a large building in downtown Chicago. The senior managementthe president and all vice presidentsuse Macintosh computers with macOS. The Marketing department uses Windows 10, as does the Accounting department. The Manufacturing and Operations department uses workstations running Linux to operate a complex inventory and distribution client/server system. The servers used by the company include a combination of Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016. There has been some turnover in the companys Computer Support area, so you have been hired as a consultant to provide help.

1. A new vice president has just been hired, and she needs your advice for creating a folder structure for her documents. She is not familiar with macOS, so she needs a little help on how to get started. She wants a separate location for each of the following:

Rulings by the board of directors

Financial spreadsheets

Word-processed documents that pertain to her division

Word-processed documents that relate to senior management activities

Marketing reports

Explain how you would set up the folder structure and what you would name the folders.

2. An inventory specialist in the Manufacturing and Operations department needs to determine what file systems are mounted on his Linux computer because he is not sure that the DVD/CD-ROM drive is properly mounted. Explain the steps he should use to determine the mounted file systems and note which file system should be mounted for the DVD/CD-ROM drive.

3. A new database application that requires high availability will use Storage Spaces on one of the Windows Server 2016 systems. You want a file system that can recover from file corruption and is scalable to support very large files and volumes. The files used in the application don't require features like encryption or quotas because speed and reliability are paramount. The application and its data will be located on volumes separate from the Windows OS. What file system would be a good fit for this application and why?
