Description Johannes Krude 2008-02-24 11:42:22 UTC

I type:
sudo mount -o loop test\ test/
then I hit tab one time and the following appears:
grep: Angehängter Backslash (»\«)
grep: Angehängter Backslash (»\«)
grep: Angehängter Backslash (»\«)
grep: Angehängter Backslash (»\«)

This only happens if I use sudo and mount together.

Perhaps could you give us some useful example why this is a real-world problem for anyone???

Comment 2 Johannes Krude 2008-02-25 13:11:44 UTC

Because it makes bash-completion useless in this case.
I think my description was not clear enough. Bash-completion does not work for sudo mount and backslashes in filenames.

app-shells/bash-completion-20081218 is in the tree and should fix this bug. Reopen if the problem persists in the new version.

Thanks for reporting!
