-b option returning error on first found folder content using * about nilrt-net-boot HOT 7 CLOSED

Do you have a folder under /etc/opt/ with a space in it's name?
Can you try quoting the -b argument -- i.e. -b "etc/opt/*" ?

from nilrt-net-boot.

I added quoting for blacklist values in commit ca6e809. However, you should still quote all inputs that have wildcards (*). I can't prevent your shell from expanding them before nilrt-make-netboot-image.sh runs.

The only two folders under etc/opt/ are
ni
repo

No spaces in the names of those folders. Then it progresses down to the final levels where all the .ipk files are located.

Quotes had no effect on the error.

etc/opt/repo/ only has a linear level of directories

etc/opt/repo/19.07/x86_64/

with no other subfolders until the x86_64 level - then:

etc/opt/repo/19.07/x86_64/base/
etc/opt/repo/19.07/x86_64/opkg-utils-0.4.1/
etc/opt/repo/19.07/x86_64/opgk-utils-0.4.1.tar.gz*
etc/opt/repo/19.07/x86_64/packages/

Under base/ is a long list of .ipk package files
Under packages/ is another long list of .ipk package files

Nothing seems to have any spaces that I can see.

find . -name "* *"
found no files or folders with spaces in the names from /mnt/userfs/etc/opt on down.

Downloaded the new updated shell script and ran it, it worked with - b etc/opt -b "etc/opt/*" and gave a correct output of 412MB for img.d

Great. Linux tools are generally allergic to spaces. You get used to it after a while :)

from nilrt-net-boot.

I guess one of the package names somewhere could have a space, but it didn't look like it. Thanks for all the effort.
