Description Frederick Grose 2010-12-17 03:14:49 UTC 
The new strace-based copyFile function cp_p() uses a pipeline, so errors can go undetected.  Using set -o pipefail seems to fix this.

A separate problem occurs when an error triggers the || clause that uses a subshell to group two commands.  An inline command group seems to fix this.

Patch attached.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Force an error in the copyFile function by renaming the source file or provide insufficient space for the copy.
2. Force the use of the cp_p() function by commenting out the gvfs-copy if-block.
3. Execute livecd-iso-to-disk.

  
Actual results:

Notice that the error does not get trapped and cause the main script to exit.
