I found the error: the exclude code tries to lstat the file, which throws an exception that is not caught. I modified the source to catch that exception, and now it seems to work well.
I included a full patch for the 1.3 upstream source, with changelog entry and a sub-minor version change. ** Patch added: "FIX submission" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38902252/pdumpfs-1.3.patch -- pdumpfs omits extra files when --exclude is used on certian large directory trees https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
