Linux Problems
NFS won't start
In Devuan Beowulf, I installed nfs-common so I could mount some nfs shares, but the mount on boot does not work. After boot is complete, I can mount my nfs shares manually.
Looking in the logs, I see the following error: /run/rpcbind not owned by root failed!
This is caused by an incorrect path (see https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/10/msg01012.html), which can be fixed by the following:
echo 'PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin"' >> /etc/default/rpcbind
/etc/default/rpcbind is called in the startup scripts, so this will add /usr/bin to the path when nfs is started.
sort gives unexpected results
Ran into a problem on Devuan (Debian) Linux where sort did not give expected results.
INPUT:
- f.dat
02-175CB:D 022C11EE:D 02-2D270:D
sort f.dat
returns
02-175CB:D 022C11EE:D 02-2D270:D
Run under FreeBSD and also
perl -e '@a=(<>);chomp(@a);print join($/,sort @a).$/;' <f.dat
returns
02-175CB:D 02-2D270:D 022C11EE:D
Which I expected.
Under Linux, you can get the same results by setting the collate first:
LC_COLLATE=C sort f.dat
I tracked this down from a similar problem using ls on Linux. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/35469/why-does-ls-sorting-ignore-non-alphanumeric-characters.
