      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Gorilla Nation (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      Done via telephone and web using titanpad - you type your answers onto a whiteboard that is shared between you and the interviewer/interview team. Plan on it taking about 1 to 1.5 hours. Many different systems administrations questions. Interviewer likes to "drill down" on each question so, know your stuff inside and out. Good luck!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How to know the version of the linux distribution you are running ? How do you know the current load on the system ? From the previous question, what do those 3 numbers represent ? What could explain the difference when you run du and df ? That server is an Centos apache webserver , how do you get the list of all virtual hosts it can serve ? That server is a Centos mysql5 server, how would you know if it’s a master, a slave or both ? That server is a Centos mysql5 server, how will you get a list of queries currently running on the host ?
