LFCS Exam - Question 17


After modifying GNU GRUB's configuration file, which command must be run for the changes to take effect?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

After modifying GNU GRUB's configuration file, you must run the 'grub-install' command for the changes to take effect. This command installs the GRUB bootloader and updates the boot menu with the new configuration. The 'grub-install' command writes the updated configuration to the boot sector of the system's boot partition, ensuring that the changes are applied correctly.

Since Grub is not a service you don't need to take any action for changes to take effect. A soon as you change the config file the changes take immediate effect.

Option B. grub-install is the command that must be run after modifying GNU GRUB's configuration file for the changes to take effect. GNU GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is a bootloader that is used to boot Linux and other operating systems. It reads its configuration from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and uses it to create a menu that allows the user to select an operating system or boot option. If you make changes to the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, you must run the grub-install command to apply the changes and update the boot menu. The grub-install command installs the GRUB bootloader on the system and writes the configuration to the boot sector of the system's boot partition. For example: grub-install /dev/sda This installs the GRUB bootloader on the first hard drive ( /dev/sda ) and updates the boot menu with the new configuration.

Option A: The kill -HUP $(pidof grub) command does not apply changes to the GRUB configuration file. It sends a hang-up signal to the process with the specified PID, which may cause the process to terminate or reload its configuration. Option C: The grub command is not used to apply changes to the GRUB configuration file. It is a command-line interface for managing the GRUB bootloader and can be used to perform various tasks such as booting into a specific operating system or editing the boot menu. Option D: No action is not the correct answer. After modifying the GRUB configuration file, the grub-install command must be run for the changes to take effect.
