Good Book on Linux Hardware Troubleshooting?
Anyone who can help me with my new job.
I have been selected in one of MNC for the post of Linux Core System administrator. I need a book on Linux Hardware Troubleshooting. Any suggestions? |
Hi,
not sure what you exactly define as hardware troubleshooting, so here my 2 cents. I do such a job since 1998, i am responsible for any kind of trouble appearing in our *nix hard- and software environment. From my point having a good knowledge of electrical and engineering, and as a result really to know how hardware works, is the minimal. Knowledge of C-programming is really helpful, so you can track down into source to see how a driver on a specific device acts. Learning to debug a system and its drivers and how to handle core dumps and kernel panics is useful. Also additional indepth knowledge in networking, SAN and cluster solutions is required. So i think it will be difficult to find a book covering out all this different areas. Most of my knowledge is retrieved from more than 25 years of work in IT area. Should i provide a brain dump on a USB stick? :) |
