On exam LPIC-1, topic 104.2 (Maintain the integrity of filesystems) there is a mention of xfs_db in the "partial list of the used files, terms and utilities".

That's an advanced tool to debug a filesystem, so it's quite surprising to find it mentioned in a junior sysadmin exam. Doing such a kind of repair is a really advanced topic, that I think is absolutely excessive for a junior sysadmin exam like LPIC-1.

Since xfs_growfs is not mentioned either, while it is much more commonly used and the "Key Knowledge" section mention just "Repair simple filesystem problems" I cannot see why xfs_db is included.

I could understand if there where a mention of xfs_admin, also if I don't see how it can apply to filesystems integrity maintenance. I think xfs_db mention should be removed.
