I can confirm that a recruiter contacted me and asked pretty much these exact same questions when trying to recruit me for an SRE job.
My recruiter was reading these questions off of a sheet of paper, but when we had discrepancies in our answers and she would say something like "It says here an inode holds metadata", and I would respond with something like "oh, metadata and attributes are the same thing", she would say "oh, well you are correct then!"
I made it to the first phone interview but that's where the path ended. I was bummed for a little but then remembered I prefer small business anyways :)
