Wait, we're supposed to copy the fstab file? Isn't that the file that controls how my computer's hard drives are mounted? I don't know about you, but I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole! Let's hope the rest of the exam is a little less risky.

This is a textbook example of what we've been learning in class. I bet the exam writer is trying to lull us into a false sense of security with this easy question. Time to stay sharp and keep an eye out for any hidden tricks!

Hmm, this is a pretty basic Linux file management task. I'm sure I could do this in my sleep. Maybe they'll throw in a curveball on the next question to keep us on our toes!

The answer looks good to me. I like how it uses the setfacl command to manage the permissions instead of just relying on the traditional chmod approach.
