Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2003 6:35 pm Post subject: Is there any way to use a SMBFS mount as Portage Temp? |
|
|
I recently tried emerging OpenOffice 1.03 and ran out of hard disk space. Unfortunately the computer is a laptop and only has a 4GB drive. So I tried another alternative, trying to use a Samba mount on another computer as the Portage Temp dir. I've tried mounting the Samba share with different UID, GID, and umasks (both file and directory), and the share is mounted with read/write permissions, but I always get this error:
!!! File system problem. (ReadOnly? Out of space?)
!!! Perhaps: rm -Rf /var/tmp/net-portage
!!! [Errno1] Operation not permitted: '/var/tmp/net-portage'
Any ideas on why this might be happening?[/code] |

I am having this same problem. I've set the uid and gid to 250 (portage) and mounted it with the rw option, and emerge still seems to not have enough permissions. The permissions seem to be rwx for the user and rx for the group and everyone. It would be really nice to be able to use smbfs as a temp filesystem for small computers (especially laptops).

I don't think this is going to be possible.
The reason is, portage requires unix-style permissions for sandboxing and installing with the correct permissions. SMBFS doesn't support unix permissions, because windows filesystems do not.
That is most likely why you are getting those file system errors. |
