Re: [Ltib] "[: 101: -ne: unexpected operator" when script is creating an initamfs compressed filesystem

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Terry,

Are you using the dash shell? if so there's a section that is not supported.


   echo "creating an initamfs compressed filesystem image: 
initramfs.cpio.gz"
    geninitramfs -U -D $dev_tab -d $stage | gen_init_cpio - | gzip -9 > 
$tdir/initramfs.cpio.gz
    # Note: not supported in dash (sigh)
    if [ -n "\$PIPESTATUS" -a \$PIPESTATUS -ne 0 ]
    then
        exit 1
    fi
    if [ "$pcf->{DEPLOYMENT_RAMDISK_U_BOOT}" = "y" ]

This may be what you're running into, but without more in-context output 
I can't tell.

If this is the case, I'd recommend changing to a standard bash shell.

Regards, Stuart
