About the length of the answer
Write a bash script to create XFS, ext4, and vfat file system structures in the logical volumes, respectively. Create mount points /mnt/xfs, /mnt/ext4, and /mnt/vfat, and mount the file systems. Include the df command with -h in the script to list the mounted file systems. (From Ghori's book)

Will we get the time to write such a long answer? What are the things here you think could have been avoided to make it shorter?
