Comments about results/validations in mock exam 1

RHCSA
#1

Some comments about things I noticed during the validation on mock exam1 for the new RHCSA course.

  • The pass percentage is set to 100%
  • Question 1: Fails if you don’t create an RSA key but use the new default (ED25519)
  • Question 3: Fails if you use a relative path, this is not clear in the task.
  • Question 7&8: Fail if you don’t have the full path but just the files in the archive
  • Question 9: Fails if you use passwd instead of chpasswd
  • Qustion 17: Fails if you use UUID instead of /dev/vdd2 even though UUID is probably prefered
  • Question 33: Fails if you don’t set the name to flathub

Thanks a lot for reporting these.

I’ll take a look at them and report them to the team for a fix.

Most of these are probably also active in the other exams. I did notice on more in exam 4 for setting the partition sizes:

It fails on ‘Is vdd1 ~3 GiB, vdd2 ~1 GiB, vdd3 ~500 MiB?’

With the following results in Parted:

Number  Start   End     Size    File system     Name         Flags
 1      1049kB  3073MB  3072MB                  lvmdata      lvm
 2      3073MB  4097MB  1023MB  linux-swap(v1)  swapdata     swap
 3      4097MB  4609MB  512MB                   vgextension  lvm

Day 1 is fixed. It now accepts either RSA or ED25519 keys.

For day 9, I tried with passwd, and it worked.
