Example: Stuff like udev, dbus and hal is covered briefly by Red
Hat just so that the student gets the picture as to how it all fits
together, but it doesn't get any more coverage than that and
there's only one very brief lab to edit a udev rule. The obvious
intention is to show that editing these rule files does do stuff in
/dev but one is not really required to know *what* it all does,
That's exactly the limit that I'd impose on the LPIC-1 level. Pretty
much to answer the 'how the heck does gnome/kde/... know that I just
put in a USB stick?' question. :)
I would agree that it's a useful objective. My only grumble is hwo the
heck do we write items for it?
Or maybe I should just STFU and let the item writers worry about that.
Maybe they know something I don't (highly likely) :-)
Some example questions:
Which process is responsible for creating device files. a)udev,
b)sysfs, c)hald, d)/proc
T/F sysfs contains device files of the system..
Which file system holds the kernel hardware detected device tree:
a)/prc, b)sysfs, c)/dev, d)/dev/hwdata
Which process signals a GUI to react to hardware device changes:
a)/proc, b)hald, c)udev, d)initrd
(you should not put hald and dbus together in the answer list above
as this may be too confusing)
I can go on for some time on this line of Questioning...
However there will *NOT* be questions like:
Which of the UDEV rules below will correctly generate a device
/dev/cdplayer.?
Which selector will respond to PCI ID 8086:1234?
