I don't think it's likely to be a bug in awk; therefore, I think it's probably likely you'll see the same thing with your version of the script. > Either way, the original script is deficient because it does not properly > recognize fields 1 and 2. Again, only an issue if a filesystem type happens to be given the name "nodev" *and* isn't itself a nodev fs *and* shouldn't be excluded from updatedb anyway. So, that seems pretty academic, even though you're technically correct. Second, there's nothing performance-sensitive about this part of the script, so optimizing out an awk call at the expense of changing a simple one-liner to a half-page function doesn't seem like a win. So, updating the awk pattern to use either a regular expression or the same logic found in your function seems like the better change (if any is to be made at all). > > Am I being too anal?
