I have written a script which executes in init-bottom within the initram. So it uses busybox for the commands. I included gzip from my distro to initram (gzip 1.5 went to /bin).
This is causing a "broken pipe"-error. I do not understand why:
find . -depth -print0|pax -wv0|/bin/gzip -c -1 ->${somewhere}/archive.pax.gz
I can use the -z option of pax instead of the gzip pipe: The same broken pipe. Using busybox gzip instead of /bin/gzip does the job. But why?
/bin/gzipwork correctly ? Can you give us the output ofldd /bin/gzip? – Vinz Dec 04 '13 at 09:32gzipprocess? (echo $?after the pipeline) – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Dec 04 '13 at 20:56
