After installing BB 1.9i on Fedora 7, I started getting bogus messages
regarding a full filesystem. A closer investigation revealed that at
fault are two lines in bin/bb-disk.sh:
line 60:eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v \"$DFEXCLUDE\" |
$SORT \"+${DFSORT}\" > $BBTMP/DFOUT.$$"
line 75: wclen1=`eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v
\"$DFEXCLUDE\" | $SORT \"+${DFSORT}\" | $WC"`
The
$SORT \"+${DFSORT}\"
is being evaluated to
/bin/sort "+4"
and it upsets sort (it thinks +4 is a file).
I fixed the problem by adding the option -k to both lines:
line 60:eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v \"$DFEXCLUDE\" |
$SORT -k \"+${DFSORT}\" > $BBTMP/DFOUT.$$"
line 75: wclen1=`eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v
\"$DFEXCLUDE\" | $SORT -k \"+${DFSORT}\" | $WC"`
I was wondering however, if that was going to be fixed in the
distribution in any upcoming versions...
Thanks.
