Anyone fail LFCS?

I guess it all comes down to bad marketing. They sell you a bundle as if the course is the solution to the problem of passing the exam. Weird, right?

Thanks for sharing your experience @mikerossiter . For me, I already knew that I was borderline passing/failing for LFCS before receiving the score report, but incidentally, I had a similar experience (felt excellent but did bad) with JSNSD very recently.

I failed my first exam. I was surprised that they gave me a question how to create and deploy a Docker container. There is no such thing in the preparation course LFS211, and I was not prepared! Is the LFS201 or LFS211 is the right preparation?

LFS201 does indeed have discussion and labs on Docker containers, in the chapter titled "Containers".
However, please do not content on specific exam questions as it is a violation of the confidentiality agreement you entered into when taking the exam.

It would be great to have a section about "Essential Commands" showing not only the basics, but also the most important options. This is also true for all the other topics covered in the exam. Don't get me wrong, but the course does not prepare you for the "Real World" Exam properly.

you can find out the important options for virtually any command by doing --help, as in
cp --help
or of course you can get more detailed information withman cp
. In the real world that ** is ** how admins and developers remember things, rather than looking for a set of (digital) cue cards. Of course there are students that prepare them on their own as a learning device (what passes through your fingers may register in your brain). If we were to overemphasize these kinds of reductionist lists there would be students who assume that is all they need to know. So it is against my philosophy, as course authorI do keep a couple of specialized cheat sheets around, not for basic things but for things that are specialized and I'd sometimes forget, like a list of pacman commands (for Archlinux), a Rosetta stone for apt <-> rpm, etc. (like how to I do
rpm -qf /bin/somefile
on Debian, etc.Anyway, the best thing for you to do create such documentation on your own, but remember you cannot bring that into an exam

Hi @avmentzer ,
It would be great to have a section about "Essential Commands" showing not only the basics, but also the most important options.
I think the most important command options are these you need to apply for certain needs. Not always you will use the same options. Let's think about the 'find' command; it has many options, and any Linux Sysadmin need to use the right options for the current task. So there is no point to make a list with options, because we have the man pages, as Coop said. So, you really need to know what the options are, and how to use them. Also, it's pretty important to know what the capabilities are for each command, and where you can find them easily and fast.

I encourage everyone not to give up!

Thank you

Congrats @olivieraf , well done 👍.
I would take a few days off to calm down a little bit.
@kk Thank you 🙏. I got used to CentOS, I can’t get warm with Ubuntu. Which version it was? I don’t now, but I think the version is not a big deal anyhow.

I failed...twice. I was not as prepared as I thought I was when I took it the first time. Then, the exam expired about 20 days after my results came back so I had to schedule the retake for the day before expiration. Failed that one too. Although, my score doubled from the first attempt to the second. So that is a positive.
I ran out of time. Need to be faster. I'll lab.
Its not an easy test. Linux is not easy to learn.
Quitting is easy. I am not a quitter.
I got back on my horse and will pass the test on my third attempt. One think I wish I had was more scripting instruction. Can anyone recommend a resource to me. The knowledge of bash scripting is not not sticking with me.

https://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php is an excellent and detailed reference to all things bash including scripts, and I believe it is given as a resource in the course. And it is free to download
