Booting nVME/PCIe devices? Again, that's booting _neither_ AHCI/SATA _nor_ AHCI/PCIe devices. There is _0_ AHCI compatibility when booting nVME devices. I wasn't aware there was a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) for nVME, only AHCI. > But even so, there should be more questions regarding UEFI topics > including ESP. >> o [C2v4] "drop lilo, (consider U-boot and other non-x86 topics)" > I'd rather like see something about systemd-boot/gummiboot than uboot. Just so everyone is aware ... I _never_ suggested U-Boot. I only said, as "devil's advocate," more people know U-Boot today than LILO. The systemd-boot is a valid consideration, especially as more and more systems are systemd capable. > On another topic, I did not find any mention of blockdev or other tools > related to determine the logical/physical block (sector) size. > Given that 512e disks have been around for quite some time and 4K disk > about to met more frequently. I think there is some coverage in LPIC-1, namely Objective 104, possibly others. Those objectives should be expanded as part of LPIC-1 v5 then. But yes, 4KiB/512e v. 4KiB/4KiB physical/logical it's relevant for uEFI, as FAT32 formatted EFI System Partitions will be 260MiB minimum (for FAT32). > 204.3 LVM: should mention thin provisioning (thin pools, metadata LVs, > etc.) Do we want to get to that level? Especially meta-data? At that point, we're talking dmsetup et al. as well. As far as thin provisioning, I think that's ideal for a LPIC-3 Storage exam. > 205.2: still has deprecated netstat instead of ss It should probably be both tools, at least for now.
