I purchased the Sabrent because it was recommended on a linux website as
one of the most reliable for a linux system.

Thanks.

Re: numfmt issue on SL 7.9; possible bug?

2021-02-11 Thread Yasha Karant

A question:

Are there applications that use the affected glibc version and were used 
for mission-critical (or possibly life endangering) calculations?  If 
so, all of the results of such calculations (including any done at 
Fermilab, CERN, or HEP for data analysis, detector calibration and 
modeling, etc.) are suspect.  Are these users even deeply aware of the 
issue and the need to redo work?

Hi,

you might be running into this issue: 
bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1925204


This has been introduced with glibc-2.17-322.el7_9 and has been fixed 
in glibc-2.17-323.el7_9.
CentOS 7 already ships the updated version, on SL7 the version seems 
to be not yet available.

Looks like the glibc-2.17-323.el7_9 update (RHBA-2021:0439) is not a
security fix. SL usually publishes non-security updates on Tuesdays.
Unless the devs decide to make it an exception, the update will be out
on next Tue, Feb 16.

Awesome! Thank you both. I think you are absolutely onto something. This 
also may explain why I can't get it to work reliably on my upstream 
vendor OS. Even though they are all the same coreutils version, I've got 
different versions of glibc running on them (we have a rolling update 
cycle for certain environments to help catch upgrade errors). Some are 
older and some are newer. The one having the problem is the same version.


I didn't even think to check glibc.

I will wait till next Tuesday. Thank you!

Can you supply the command you are typing to use the numfmt?

I get "nan" on one SL7.9 computer but a "0" on another. Not sure what causes 
the difference.
