A system administrator is troubleshooting a server that fails to boot. The initial error messages suggest that essential system commands located in /bin and /sbin cannot find their required shared libraries. According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), which of the following directories should the administrator investigate to resolve this issue?
The correct answer is /lib. According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), the /lib directory contains the essential shared libraries and kernel modules needed to boot the system and run the commands in /bin and /sbin. These libraries are critical for basic system functionality. The /boot directory contains the kernel and bootloader files, not shared libraries. The /etc directory holds system configuration files. The /usr/lib directory contains libraries for user-installed software and non-essential system programs, which are not required for the initial boot process.
