BBmicroSDflasher "rsync: link_stat "/boot/uboot/*" failed: No such file or directory (2)"

Hey, Encountered following issue when trying to run the microSD flasher script. Up to this point no errors were encountered. At the last line terminal stalls.

If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1) to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1 (See fdisk(8).)

"2015-11-12"... Okay, what script did you run? There's a few of them. Please type:

git rev-parse HEAD

in /opt/scripts/ so i have some idea of of the time line of the script you ran..

[GrantRolls]

I ran the latest script as the BBB did not already have it in the filesystem. https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh b601e6040bd38481b1e9f99f87fd66acb93fbf6d

@GrantRolls this might fix it:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/commit/fe72bb08d78ca634e3159a4df29054c8e03924ac

Having a fun time getting "2015-11-12" flashed to atleast one of my boards. ;)

Weird, /boot/uboot/ exists, but it's unreadable... let's look for the old trigger file (MLO)

Okay things seem to work.

moved the rootfs from eMMC -> microSD with "beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh"

Then shutdown and let the microSD flash the eMMC: microSD -> eMMC

Then shutdown and let the eMMC boot..

Awesome - looks like that was it. Cheers. Another small bug I found was that rsync --progress was not being used by the microSDflasher. I changed this as the rootfs was large and it looked like it was hanging for me at the point where it does the rootfs -> tmp sync.
