 Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2019 11:09 am Post subject: [solved] /usr/portage/distfiles as sep. part., got sync err. |
 |
|
I made my /usr/portage/distfiles directory as a separate partition (btrfs subvolume, actually). Now, when syncing, I get the following error:
| Code: | | rsync: delete_file: rmdir(distfiles) failed: Device or resource busy (16) |
This causes the sync to fail.
Is there some configuration that I can adapt to make it possible to have /usr/portage/distfiles directory as a separate partition?

add this to your make.conf:
| Code: | | DISTDIR="/mount/point/for/your/distfiles/partition" |
if you want to have distfiles directory at separate partition |

equaeghe,
If you mountthe partition at /usr/portage/distfiles in the usual way, it should just work.
There is a trap for the unwary.
The content of distfiles should all be owned by portage:portage. If you copied the content as root, portage will no longer be able to delete files or directories.
If you relocated /usr/portage/distfiles, follow Blind_Snipers advice.

Hmm, I did mount it there, but it didn't. I'd copied using 'cp -ax', so the owner should have been good.
This is the current ownership state (which works):
| Code: | # ls -al /usr/portage/distfiles/
total 193416
drwxrwxr-x 1 root portage 550 16 mrt 14:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3486 16 mrt 14:50 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 419576 16 mrt 14:58 eclass-manpages-20190314.tar.xz |

equaeghe,
I don't understand what happened.
The permission are correct.
/usr/portage/distfiles/ is the default location.

For reasons not yet explained, rsync wanted to delete (and presumably eventually recreate) that directory. Deleting a directory while it is a mount point will definitely fail with the error shown. The immediate solution is to make rsync not try to delete the directory. For reasons also not explained, rsync ceased trying. Perhaps setting $DISTDIR caused Portage to configure rsync differently.
If the problem recurs, try to get rsync to explain why it wants to delete that directory. |
