Three of the 120 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which of the following commands erases the contents of the /dev/sdb3 partition?

  1. rm /dev/sdb3
  2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb3
  3. dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sdb3
  4. umount /dev/sdb3
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb3

The command 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb3' writes zeros from /dev/zero to the partition /dev/sdb3, effectively erasing its contents. The 'if' (input file) and 'of' (output file) parameters are in the correct order to overwrite the partition with zeros.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. rm cannot directly erase block device partitions; it only removes file references.
  • C. This reverses the input and output parameters, attempting to read from /dev/zero and write to itself, which is incorrect.
  • D. umount only unmounts a filesystem but does not erase its contents.

Question 2

Which of the following files will be looked for and used by GNU make, if one of them exists, unless a different file is specified on the command line when trying to compile software from source code? (Choose two.)

  1. configure
  2. config.h.in
  3. makefile
  4. Makefile
  5. Makefile.in
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C, D. makefile; Makefile

GNU make automatically looks for either 'makefile' or 'Makefile' (case-sensitive on Unix systems, typically preferring Makefile) in the current directory when no file is specified with the -f option. These are the default build instruction files that make will use if they exist.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. configure is a shell script used for configuration, not a make file itself.
  • B. config.h.in is a template file used by configure to generate config.h, not a make build file.
  • E. Makefile.in is a template that is processed by configure to generate Makefile, not directly used by make.

Question 3

Which of the following commands restores only those files containing lpi in their name from the archive lpifiles.tar.gz?

  1. tar xvzf lpifiles.tar.gz --wildcards "˜*lpi*'
  2. tar xvzwf lpifiles.tar.gz "˜*lpi*'
  3. tar -xvfz lpifiles.tar.gz --deep "˜*lpi*'
  4. tar -xvzf lpifiles.tar.gz --subdirs "˜*lpi*'
  5. tar xvzf lpifiles.tar.gz --globbing "˜*lpi*'
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. tar xvzf lpifiles.tar.gz --wildcards "˜*lpi*'

The command 'tar xvzf lpifiles.tar.gz --wildcards "*lpi*"' correctly extracts files from a gzipped tar archive while filtering for files matching the wildcard pattern '*lpi*'. The -- wildcards option enables pattern matching during extraction, and the flags x (extract), v (verbose), z (gzip), and f (file) are properly ordered.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. The -w flag does not exist in standard tar; this option is invalid.
  • C. The --deep option does not exist in tar for filtering extractions.
  • D. The --subdirs option is not a valid tar option for pattern-based extraction.
  • E. The --globbing option does not exist; --wildcards is the correct option for pattern matching.

  • Pass or your money back

Fail the 201-450 and it costs another US$200. This pack is US$39, paid once, and refunded if you fail.

What makes the 201-450 hard

The 201-450 is not just multiple choice. LPI exams include fill-in-the-blank questions where the exact command, file path or argument has to be typed, with no options to choose from and no guessing possible.

It is also the first of two exams required to earn the full LPIC-2 certification, with 202-450 coming next, so failing here delays both. An active LPIC-1 is required to get this far, which makes this the wrong exam to cut corners on.

The weighting is unusually flat: networking configuration is the largest topic at weight 11 of 60, with the kernel, system startup and filesystems at 9 each. System maintenance is the lightest at 6. This pack has 120 practice questions for the 201-450, including every fill-in-the-blank style question.

About the exam

LPIC-2 is the Linux Professional Institute's second professional certification level, validating advanced Linux system administration skills across any distribution. The 201-450 is the first of two required exams. The current version is 4.5, and an active LPIC-1 is required before certifying at LPIC-2. Valid for 5 years. LPI exams include fill-in-the-blank questions requiring exact command syntax, so hands-on terminal practice matters.
