101-500 Exam - Question 65


Which of the following files are found in the /boot/ file system? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

The /boot directory contains files necessary for the booting process of the operating system. This includes the Linux kernel images and initial ramdisk images, which are crucial for starting up the system. Linux kernel images are required to load the kernel, and initial ramdisk images contain temporary file systems used during the boot process. Bash shell binaries, systemd target and service units, and fsck binaries are not typically found in the /boot directory as they serve different purposes beyond the initial boot phase.

Can't see how E, C and B would be inside the /boot directory. I think A and D is correct since they relate to the booting itself. B: Why would Bash be in here if it's not related to booting? It should be of a later concern after booting. C: systemd should come after booting, not before. E: fsck binaries should come after booting, doesn't belong in /boot.

That's right, A & D In CentOS 7, /boot/ contains initial ramdisk images, vmlinux kernel image files, rescue kernel, efi, grub, and grub2 directories The kernel starts systemd systemd reads the system target from /etc/systemd https://www.thegeekdiary.com/centos-rhel-7-booting-process/#:~:text=Reads%20file%20linked%20by%20/etc/systemd/system/default.target https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/sec-verifying_the_initial_ram_disk_image#:~:text=Procedure%C2%A030.1.%C2%A0-,Verifying%20the%20Initial%20RAM%20Disk%20Image,-As%20root%2C%20list fsck comes after systemd in the boot process before this program is called /usr/lib/systemd

The correct answer should be A & D. "Since the boot partition only stores the files needed by the bootloader, the initial RAM disk and kernel images, it can be quite small by today’s standards." source - "LPI Learning Materials: LPIC-1 (101)" Version 5.0, page 57

You can find ramdisk and linux kernel files at boot partition.

AD, not just because saw it correct in another guide, but because just by ls -la /boot you can see it and play around with those contents, I do it almost everyday in my job.
