I’m on macOS 12.3.1.  I’m using zsh 5.8.1 from Home-brew.  I do `sudo -s` and now it seems I’m using the native macOS 5.8 version of zsh.

The command `print -l /System/Volumes/Data/**/*(D)` gets about 20 errors such as:

zsh: operation not permitted: com.apple.LaunchServices.dv

And then appears to hang.  ^C doesn’t stop it.  ^Z does not suspend it.  ^\ kills the sudo and I get back to my user prompt.

The “operation not permitted” doesn’t bother me… that is the new Mac non-sense where root isn’t root.  But the apparent hang seems rather ugly.  Can others reproduce this?

Thank you,
Perry

That's not a bug.  It should work to do `sudo -s $SHELL` if you want
to keep using the same shell version.

This isn't entirely surprising ... those signals might fail because
your user doesn't have privilege to signal the root shell.

Does there happen to be a Time Machine backup under
/System/Volumes/Data/ ?  Time Machine plays some tricks with making
hard links to directories (normally not allowed) for reasons of space
savings, but that could put **/ into an infinite loop.

My bad… I knew /Volumes/… would show the repeated mount but I thought somehow
magically /System/Volumes/Data/Volumes would not.  That’s one of the reasons I was
using it as my starting point.  Indeed, I wasn’t aware that /System/Volumes/Data had
Volumes in it.

Now I need to go read zshall and find out how to do “all except ‘Volumes’”

“find” must have something to detect loops?

I don't think it's possible in any straightforward way.
((^Volumes)/)# can match the empty string, so you just end up
searching into Data//Volumes (note doubled slash) instead.  And
**/*~Volumes(D) doesn't filter until after the recursion.

Hmm?
% mkdir -p {a,Volumes}/{b,Volumes}/{c,Volumes}
% print -l ((^Volumes)/)#
a/
a/b/
a/b/c/

Sure, but try ((^Volumes)/)#/ and suddenly you're recursing from the root.

For Perry's specific use case, ./((^Volumes)/)#/ is OK, because he
only cares about directories, bad things can happen if you end that
with another glob.  I discounted ./((^Volumes)/)#/(^Volumes) but
that's because it runs afoul of bare_glob_qual, it works if you unset
that or append some other qualifier to force (^...) to be taken as a
pattern.

There's no reason to append this extra slash, (foo/)#hello works fine
to match bar/hello (but not /hello).

% touch a/b/c/hello
% print -l ((^Volumes)/)#hello
a/b/c/hello

Afaict, ((^Volumes)/)#^Volumes should work fine there.

% touch **/*(/e*'REPLY+=/bar'*)
% print -l ((^Volumes)/)#^Volumes
a
a/b
a/b/bar
a/b/c
a/b/c/bar
a/b/c/hello
a/bar
