I believe that Donald's question WAS related to future exam objectives. I didn't see anything in his question that mentioned anything about specific exam questions; he was just asking if there are plans to include libata in future exams...which IS a question about future exam objectives.On Saturday 26 July 2008, Donald A.

However, it will be very difficult to discuss future exam objectives via this mailing list if we can't ask questions and give answers to exam objectives. :+}Plus, everyone who has written an LPI exam signed a waiver beforehand that they would not answer specific questions such as these. I was under the impression that this list is designed to openly discuss which topics should or should not be possible future exam objectives. I didn't imagine that this list was intended to determine who was prepared to write LPIC exams.However, to put your query in perspective, the naming convention used by libata has been a mainline kernel feature for something like two years now. Don't you agree that this makes it required knowledge to efficiently admin a Linux system? And therefore that anyone who does not know this about libata probably isn't ready to write the exam yet? I'm concerned that responses such as this will curtail the intent behind this list. Open discussion means "don't bash someone for making a suggestion". If you agree, a simple "good idea, I agree" would be best (IMHO). As with all mailing lists, tempers can flare when intent isn't clear.
