Small shell tricks

Directories tree view

Set it to your .bashrc and run as tree [DIR].

tree() {
find "${1:-.}" -type d -print 2>/dev/null|awk '!/\.$/ {for (i=1;i<NF;i++){d=length($i);if ( d < 5  && i != 1 )d=5;printf("%"d"s","|")}print "---"$NF}'  FS='/'
}

Patch selected file only

If you have big patch file with many files there, to patch only one (filename.py in example):

filterdiff -i '*filename.py' patch.diff | patch -pN

and to list all files in patch file use lsdiff or filterdiff --list.

Problem with RPC/NFS mount after update CentOS 7

After some digging I finally found that the reason for this is a buggy systemd unit file in RHEL/CentOS 7.

This is a bug in nfs-server.service and he fix is to copy nfs-server.service to /etc/systemd/system and replace all occurrences of "rpcbind.target" with "rpcbind.service".

See this bug for reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171603

To allow connecting to CentOS

If there is trouble try to stop iptables:
