9,800 technical support engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Nothing difficult or unexpected -- gloves are off and everything is fair game during an interview, for this type of position, when the qualifications and experience required are so diverse. However, I do not like the improv approach to troubleshooting questions during and interview. If the problem written down and is not subject to change on the fly, because it is developing as the interviewee is asking questions, it may be a good tool for assessing a candidates competency.

You have an LVM setup like this. You have run out of space on your filesystem, you cannot delete data, and you do not have any more storage devices. Where can you look for more storage space? /dev/sda -> physical volume -> volume group -> logical volume -> filesystem -> /mnt/stuff
