I emailed this as well, but I feel there’s a mistake on two of the questions in the mock exam. And/or I’d like to discuss the correct answers according to the test on kodekloud:
One question asks to assign a user “jane” a hard limit of only 30 processes.
According to the test, the correct answer is:
@jane hard nproc 30
However, according to the man pages, @jane would be to specify a limit for a GROUP, not a USER.
i.e. I argue the correct answer should be:
jane hard nproc 30
On another question, we are asked to create swap space on a newly-created disk partition and add it to /etc/fstab. Fine…
The correct answer according to the test is:
sudo mkswap /dev/vdb1
sudo swapon /dev/vdb1
This might be more of a technicality, but “technically” swapon is turning on the new swap space and doesn’t have anything to do with creating it or adding it to /etc/fstab… ?
I feel what’s actually correct is
sudo mkswap /dev/vdb1
Any thoughts from anyone else on this? Why am I wrong, or am I correct in believing this?
Thanks!
