I think that this is a reasonable forum for discussing exam objectives and
the concept of drivers, libata for example, is reasonable. The question
is, for what exam?
Well, to be more specific, I was referring to LPI 101, Topic 104. I agree
with Alan that exam candidates should know about libata. But, it's not in
the new exam objectives for Topic 104, and it's not covered by any LPI study
materials in my library. (Even the IBM Developerworks tutorial--which is
usually the most up-to-date--doesn't cover it.)
So, I guess a better way to word my original query would be. . .
Should libata be part of the LPI 101 exam, and therefore part of the exam
objectives? If so, is it too late to get it inserted into the new exam
objectives?
This seems to be too detailed for the 101 exam. The standard maximum number of
partitions for a MFM, RLL or IDE hard disk is 63. (devices.txt) I wouldn't
expect a 101 level certified person to know that either.
For SCSI and several specific devices the maximum number is 15.
Knowing this information does not seem to be needed for "LPIC1: is an entry
level, foundation or “junior” certification for Linux professionals"
LPCI2 would be more reasonable.
