Bug in init due to ash incompatibility
There was a bug report before 0.9.14 was released, that if a SFS
was installed to the main filesystem, not in a container, then the menu
entry was wrong. I announced it as fixed for 0.9.14.
I had inserted the fix into /sbin/fixlayers script in the initrd, and
examined the code very carefully, and it was crystal-clear so ticked it
off as fixed, without actually testing it.
Bad move! I discovered today that this line failed:
aNAME="${onelayer/*\//}"
What that is supposed to do is transform a string like "abc/def/xyz"
to "xyz", that is, delete everything before and including the last "/"
character.
It works in bash, and I am so accustomed to doing it this way, didn't
think to check that it will work in busybox ash. Instead, have to to it
this way, which works for both bash and ash:
aNAME="${onelayer##*/}"
So, SFS menu entry will be fixed for the next release.
