I call everyone's attention to a quote from Scott's message from earlier today:
"One of the principle that should guide our planning for L2 is that this is the
last level in which everyone will take the same exams. After L2, candidates will
take only elective exams in specialized area. So any material that should be
known by ALL top level system admins needs to be included here in L2. In other
words, L2 provides the least common denominator for advanced system
administrators."
That's enough for me... I absolutely cannot imagine a sys-admin of any kind not
being able to deal with RAID issues. I would not expect a Junior System
Administrator to be able to handle it *all* but for dang sure a guy who could
potentially have responsibility for the whole server room at some time or other,
had better know it and know it well.
If we're going to try and say that RAID is a "specialized subject" which we
should do a special test for on Level III then I'd say that Linux SA's are about
to specialize themselves out of the market they're trying to get into!!!!!!!!
