Partly checked. None of the 5 questions here has been read against the cited source by a person. 5 questions have been checked against their cited clause by an automated pass — which is not the same thing, and is not a signature.
Only questions a person has signed for are used in mock exams here. That is the whole difference between the two kinds of checking above.
Questions in this lesson
- Which file is the configuration file that GRUB 2 generates, and which administrators are told not to edit by hand on a typical Linux distribution? machine-checked
- You replaced the boot disk in a BIOS/MBR system and need to write the GRUB 2 boot loader into the master boot record of /dev/sda, installing the required GRUB modules under /boot. Which command does that? machine-checked
- On a GRUB 2 system whose configuration file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg, type the grub-mkconfig command — including the option and its argument — that regenerates that file. machine-checked
- A GRUB menu entry ends with the directives 'set root=(hd0,3)' followed by 'chainloader +1'. What is GRUB doing? machine-checked
- You want every future boot of a GRUB 2 system to pass an extra kernel parameter, and you want the change to survive the next kernel update. Which file do you edit before regenerating the configuration? machine-checked
