macOS: Format as FAT32

Find the device path:

diskutil list

Format as FAT32:

sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 NAME MBRFormat /dev/disk2

Thanks Apple, for having FAT32 as an option in the Disk Utility app. It’s so much nicer than having to remember a CLI command.</sarcasm>

Raspbian + NFS

Install:


apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
nano /etc/exports

Once there, let’s add:


/mnt/flash *(rw,sync)

Dont’ forget to run exportfs!

Add New Services:

Here’s the deal: rpcbind must run before nfs-server. But due to a bug… that’s not the case. What happens if the sequence is not that?… simple! NFS is inaccessible.

In order to fix this, let’s do the following:


cat >/etc/systemd/system/nfs-common.service &lt;&lt;\EOF
&#91;Unit]
Description=NFS Common daemons
Wants=remote-fs-pre.target
DefaultDependencies=no

&#91;Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
ExecStop=/etc/init.d/nfs-common stop

&#91;Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target
EOF

cat >/etc/systemd/system/rpcbind.service &lt;&lt;\EOF
&#91;Unit]
Description=RPC bind portmap service
After=systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
Wants=remote-fs-pre.target
Before=remote-fs-pre.target
DefaultDependencies=no

&#91;Service]
ExecStart=/sbin/rpcbind -f -w
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure

&#91;Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target
Alias=portmap
EOF

Raspbian + Transmission: Fixing “Connection refused on port 9091”

I’ve just managed to solve a quite annoying glitch. After booting Raspbian, Transmission was immediately unable to connect to transmission-daemon on port 9091.

After much digging, i’ve found out that:

– Restarting the service just makes things work
– I was getting a bunch of error messages in /var/log/daemon.log (re: bind)
– Several posts in few forums suggested that the service was being initialized before the network adapter was actually ready.

Long story short:

1. Launch raspi-config
2. Select: 3. Boot Options
3. Select: B2 Wait for Network at Boot

That’s all you need, pretty much. Next time you boot, transmission-remote-cli will be able to connect immediately.
