Re: [PLUG] NFS 3 server going down.

For me, its the simplicity of it, and the legacy of it working for a long time, and the utter lack of modern best practices documentation. If you go looking for NFS howto's, you almost immediately notice that they are all at least 10 years old, and there is pretty much nowhere to ask questions. At

[PLUG] Fun sed challenge!

Can anyone suggest a nice unix pipeline filter using lightweight tools (no python) to output an ipv6 address in reduced format. That is, with the extra zeros removed and colons condensed according the normal ipv6 rules. Bonus for an example that leaves timestamps unscathed. In my case, the ipv6

The most current document says this: "The differences between Version 2 NFS, Version 3 NFS, and Version 4 NFS will be explained later on; for now, you might simply take the suggestion that you will need NFS Version 3 if you are installing a dedicated, high-volume, or production file server.

sipcalc can do this - to do this right is not trivial as it requires parser with lookahead or batracking. The shortening rules are designed to be smart not simple for parsers. sipcalc $(echo "ipv6 Thu Nov 16 00:05:34 PST 2017 [2603:01c2:1800:a8c0::::0001] foo bar baz" | sed 's/.*\[\([^

Yeah, perl and perl packages count as too heavy. I'm not against multiple steps. Super long command chains give me a thrill. I got reasonably close, but I was having particular trouble keeping my time formatting intact. On Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 2:01 AM, Tom wrote: > sipcalc can do this - to do
