Package: powerpc-ibm-utils
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal
On this G4 powermac, when i run "ofpathname /dev/sda" as root, i get this
warning:
/usr/sbin/ofpathname: line 812: warning: command substitution: ignored null
byte in input
if i use "bash -x $(which ofpathname) /dev/sda" it shows me:
++ /bin/cat /sys/devices/pci0002:24/0002:24:0d.0/devspec
+ OF_PATH=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d
+ [[ -z /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d ]]
+ local vdev=/pci@f4000000
+ local fc=/pci@f4000000/ata-6
+ fc=ata-6
+ [[ -e /proc/device-tree/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/device_type ]]
++ /bin/cat /proc/device-tree/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/device_type
/usr/sbin/ofpathname: line 812: warning: command substitution: ignored null
byte in input
+ devtype=ata
and indeed, there is a trailing NUL byte there:
0 root@host:~# hd < /proc/device-tree/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/device_type
00000000 61 74 61 00 |ata.|
00000004
0 root@host:~#
ofpathname should probably be clever enough to deal with that without emitting
the warning.
