Having been a past sys admin, it was difficult to resist the temptation to
respond to the initial post. But, since at least one person appears to have
taken it as an indication of what kind of sys admin a candidate
Yeah, wellummm...yeah, okay - that was dumb of me. Here they are:
1) What is an inode?
Answer: An inode is an on-disk data structure that contains information
about a file. Useful things it includes are size, modification time,
and number of links that point to it (among other things)
Well, the purpose of the original post was to list a set of questions
that, while admittedly academic in that they involve facts, cross 1) a
broad cross-section of what a sysadmin might be asked to do and 2) range
from easy to difficult.
The point is not to know the answer to every question,
question #1: Do you realize that your DBA is a God, and you will obey
his/her edicts without question?
question #2: Are you aware of the daily offering of food/beer required to
keep in your God's (DBA's) good graces?
etc...
