>Description:
Didn't fully read the manpage for mtree(8), and I assumed that -X accepted
exclusion arguments like tar does.
Turns out that wasn't the case, and mtree hangs when given directories via -X:
[r...@garrcoop-fbsd /usr/home/garrcoop/head/tools/regression/lib/libc/gen]#
mtree -X /boot/
^C
The patch attached does a stat(2) on the file first to ensure that the resolved
file is in fact legitimate, then proceeds to poke at the file to make sure that
it's a regular file.
This is a draft patch and can and will be revised if necessary..
>How-To-Repeat:
mtree -X /boot
>Fix:
See proposed patch attached.
