Ah, but this is not your normal unix trivia, the questions I were asked were stuff like what is an inode, where are inodes stored, what is a scheduler, what is the difference between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem and other questions along those lines.
This is not just flags to give to a process to make it do something, this is system internals. When I mentioned that I knew FreeBSD fairly well I was asked questions specifically about UFS and the likes.
I never did get asked about flags to grep and other UNIX tools.
- sabat 16y agothe questions I were asked were stuff like what is an inode, where are inodes stored, what is a scheduler, what is the difference between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem Precisely what I mean by unix trivia. What's the difference between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem? I think it's memory vs kernel reserved memory, but in my 16 years as a unix admin I have never once needed to know that. If I did, I'd go look it up. That is why I consider those questions trivial: they're not fundamental, although you can make them sound like they must be.
