number of sectors can not be calculated correctly in func_dd_end()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Copy mkesxiaio_4.1.sh and my ISO file 
(VMWARE.VSPHERE.V4.1-MAGNiTUDE-DISK1.iso) and oem.tar.gz into a same directory

2.  Run the script 

3.  After skipping some downloadable content (ssh/sftp/wget etc),  a failure 
happened:

+ cd /mnt/hgfs/share/esx-build/
+ dd_file=(*.bz2)
+ func_text_green 'bunzip2 *.bz2 '
+ printf '\e[01;32mbunzip2 *.bz2 \e[00m'
bunzip2 *.bz2 + bunzip2 '*.bz2'
bunzip2: Can't open input file *.bz2: No such file or directory.

It seems some bzip files haven't been generated as expected.

4. Then the script runs into function func_dd_end(), another issue happened and 
finally lead to the recycling step (Removing working folders (esx-*) )

+ func_dd_end
+ [[ 4.1 == \4\.\1 ]]
+ cd /mnt/hgfs/share/esx-build/
+ dd_file=(*dd)
+ local sector
+ local number
++ awk -v pat=bytes '$0 ~ pat {print $9}'
++ fdisk -ul '*dd'
+ sector=  
+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ sector=512
++ awk '/dd5/ {print $2}'
++ fdisk -ul '*dd'
+ number=
+ func_text_green 'Mounting *dd to /mnt/hgfs/share/esx-5'
+ printf '\e[01;32mMounting *dd to /mnt/hgfs/share/esx-5\e[00m'
Mounting *dd to /mnt/hgfs/share/esx-5./mkesxiaio_4.1.sh: line 1388: 512*: 
语法出错：此处需要运算符 (error token is "*")

The problem is the 'number' is not calculated correctly.

I am not sure the two issues are connected.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the script to work on my env (Ubuntu 10.04)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ESX Server 4.1
The script is run under Ubuntu 10.04

Please provide any additional information below.
I run the script in debug mode and get some output, hope it's clear enough to 
clarify the problem. Please refer to the attachment. Thanks.

Solution to that is on to change 

On line 1377 change -ul to -u -l
same on line 1383

There is a new version if you like to test it

Som times I hate Linux, I guess the flags fdisk -u -l doesn't work the same as 
in ubuntu and fedora. 

Problem is that you need to extract the dd image and run fdisk -u -l
