Hi everybody,
I'm preparing the LPIC-2 exams. Usually I found answers to my questions on the Internet but I choose to register here today to find some experts that would help me to understand a question for which the answer not convince me.
Searching on the Internet, I found a test with this question :
"You have elected to use the automounter and the autofs script. Your /etc/auto.master file contains the following:
/home /etc/auto.home
/project /etc/auto.project
/data yp:data.map
If you change the contents of /etc/auto.project to include a new source path what must be done to access the new path?
A. Shutdown and restart the local NFS client daemons.
B. Run fsck on the affected mount point.
C. Issue the /etc/init.d/autofs reload command.
D. Add the newly mapped path to /etc/fstab.
E. Nothing, simply access the newly mapped resource."
Regarding the man page of autofs, it's written :
"Indirect maps can be changed on the fly and the automouter will recog-nize those changes on the next operation it performs on that map. Direct maps require a HUP signal be sent to the daemon to refresh their contents as does the master map."
Here, the question concern an indirect map, so the correct answer would be "E". But the answer to this question appears to be "C"... So I don't agree and understand why, regarding the man. Anyone could clarify please ?
