Hi Fabian,
203.1 Configuring RAID
partition type 0xFD
-> is this still relevant with UEFI/GPT everywhere?
203.3 Basic ZFS Operations
I love having ZFS in for my trainings. It's a nice topic and an example
for DKMS.
But I question it's relevance for LPIC2. It's a topic that most
candidates will only learn for the exam.
204.1 Runtime Networking Configuration
* iwconfig
* iwlist
wireless-tools did not see a release since 2007
and no commits since 2016:
https://github.com/HewlettPackard/wireless-tools/commits/master
-> I recommend to remove it
"Determine what network configuration framework a system use"
-> please native English speakers have a look at this sentence
204.3 Network Troubleshooting
/etc/HOSTNAME
is gone from SuSE, no need to keep it here
205.1 Make and Install Programs from Source
"Know where sources are stored by default."
/usr/src/
-> is this still true and relevant?
Please add zstd
Is bzip2 still relevant?
206.3 Ansible Templates and Variables
typo:
"Candidates should be able to understand variables and facts and Ansible
and write simple Jinja2 templates."
->
"Candidates should be able to understand variables and facts and write
simple Jinja2 templates."
212.1 Configuring a Router
nft is missing
212.3 Advanced Secure Shell (SSH)
I really like to teach SSH CA. But does the number of deployments found
in the wild justify it for LPIC2?
I'd go for keeping SSH CA out and take SOCKS dynamic application-level
port forwarding in
212.4 Security Tasks
Awareness of OpenVAS and Snort
-> isn't Suricata today much more relevant than Snort?
Cheers,
Ingo

Dear all,
This thread is supposed to capture the discussion of the objectives
draft for exam 201-500. The current draft for the new version is
available in the LPI wiki:
https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_201
<https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_201>
Please note that this document will be edited as the discussion goes.
Please use the history and diff features of the wiki to keep track of
changes.
The major change proposals can be summarized like this:
- Topic 200, capacity planning, is merged into the new objective 055.3,
Resource Management, and now focuses on resource management using
systemd features, with less weight that the topic used to have before
- Topic 201, Linux Kernel, and topic 202, System Startup have been
merged and aspects of custom kernels have been removed. We focus on
kernel updates, modules and DKMS, as well as systemd management. No
other init systems are covered beyond awareness level
- Topic 203 (old)/202 (new), File systems, has been reduced to remove
overlap with LPIC-1 and add systemd specific aspects
- Topic 204 (old)/203 (new), Advanced storage management, has received
more weight to go into more details of mdraid and LVM. There is also a
new objective on ZFS.
- Topic 205 (old)/204 (new), Advanced Networking Configuration, has been
structured to make the distinction of runtime (iproute2) and persistent
(NetworkManager and systemd-networkd) configuration as well as
troubleshooting. net-utils are gone.
- Topic 206 (old)/205 (new) was updated and extended to include resource
management, along with some aspects of the former topic 200.
Topic 206 (new) covers configuration management using Ansible. This
topic is very similar to the Ansible topic of the DevOps Tools Engineer,
which will no longer cover Ansible in the future. Ansible seems to have
the largest adoption nowadays, along with the most convenient learning
curve of the major tools in this field. This topic mostly fills weights
that became vacant due to the reduction of the resource management and
kernel compilation objectives.
There are, of course, numerous smaller changes, fixes and improvements.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Fabian
