While including a directory using '--include' option, the file and
subdirectory names that begin with '.' are not included. Also, dracut
throws a warning message when a subdirectory is empty or only has
files or subdirectories that begin with '.'.
For example, while trying to include /tmpdata directory with the
below tree:
# tree -a /tmpdata
/tmpdata
├── .anothertestdir
├── testdir
│ └── .testsubdir
└── .testfile
dracut throws the below warning message:
# dracut --include /tmpdata /root
cp: cannot stat '/tmpdata/testdir/*': No such file or directory
#
and this is how the included /tmpdata directory tree looks:
# tree -a root
root
└── testdir
No file or directory beginning with '.' is included & also, copying
/tmpdata/testdir reported "No such file or directory" warning. Using
'.' instead of '*' in the below command will fix the warning whether
the directory being copied is empty or only has files or directories
that begin with dot:
$DRACUT_CP -t "$object_destdir" "$dracutsysrootdir$objectname"/*
Also, enable 'dotglob' temporarily to include files and directories
beginning with a `.' in the results of pathname expansion of source
directory being included.
