 |

I'm getting the strangest problem.
When I do (most) ebuilds, not all of the files are copied to their locations!
Here's a good example - this is what has been created after
emerge -bv acroread (in the /opt directory)
| Code: |
Acrobat5/:
Reader
Acrobat5/Reader:
intellinux
Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux:
lib
Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/lib:
libCoolType.so.3.06
|
That's it. Now, I can use ebuild up until the merge portion, and then copy the files to the correct location myself, but I can't just emerge.
Any idea why this could be happening? I tried to fix it by re-emerging portage, but that didn't help. |

Are you having any disk space issues?

no. Plenty of disk space. I thought of that, actually and checked a whole bunch.
Keep in mind that I can get it all to work by doing the last step by hand (the copy to the file system), and using ebuild to do everything else. |

What kind of filesystems are involved? And are they mounted with any "speed at the expense of consistency" options? Oh, and while I'm at it, which kernel sources?

|

The file system is reiserfs, mounted using the "bind" command - individual directories are remounted.
| Code: |
/dev/hdh6 /mnt/disk2 reiserfs notail 1 2
/mnt/disk2/var /var reiserfs notail,bind 1 2
/mnt/disk2/opt /opt reiserfs notail,bind 1 2
/mnt/disk2/home /home reiserfs notail,bind 1 2
|
The kernel is 2.4.18/Vanilla. I've also patched it to work with Win4lin and pppoe.
That's all there is to it. Shouldn't I at least be getting some kind of error if its failing to write? And why would 'cp -rfp /' from within the image directory be successful if the emerge wasn't? |

Can you try taking "notail" out?

| I guess I just can't use that and portage at the same time. |

Glad it worked. Reiserfs's notail option was one of the things I had in mind with "speed at the expense of consistency" options.
