rm -rf: "function not implemented" SOLVED

Message

FIy · Post by **FIy** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 7:44 am

I could cry.

This should be about my twentieth gentoo installation and so far i was so happy. i just wanted to restart with a fresh on my laptop after having a dirty one playing around with a few things.. but i just cannot come over the damn emerge system! I tried it about 5 times.. with bootstraping, without, with emerge -e system , without -e, i use such a basic make.conf with only a few use flags and cflags = " -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" which imho should work.. ... but when it comes to, say glibc during emerge system (this is the point where i see the errors) rm -rf returns with: "rm -rf function not implemented" ... i cant see, it would be worth going on when even rm -r is not working ... is just me? is it the whole 2006.1 release not working? or do i miss something else? but i havent found anything about that topic in the forums.. any help is appreciated, as you can imagine, i am quiet desperate at this point of time..

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 2006.1 AMD64 release. Please post actual questions, with actual error messages and relevant background information (e.g. 'emerge --info'), and we'll help you out.

If you install from a chroot, did you mount /proc first, as per the handbook install instructions, or if you booted from the stage3, is your fstab somehow corrupted?

change your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS values to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" and most of your issues will be gone.

i chrooted from a working installation, yes mounted proc... uhm didnt set fstab in this try, but i cant see how this could be related to the error ;-\

actual steps i made:

- mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hda1
- mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/target
- download stage3 and unpacked
- chroot /mnt/target /bin/bash
- modify /etc/make.conf /etc/locale.gen , set /etc/localtime
- emerge --sync && emerge system

ok, i'll give that a try.. although i understood the ~ tree as "testing" not as "broken"

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

Read the link I posted, check your fstab and that /proc is properly mounted when rm doesn't work.

You understood correctly. AFAIK, coreutils is not broken like this in ~amd64. Again, read the link, follow the link the guy posts, and make sure /proc is there with the right permissions when you build coreutils.

works thanks erikm. didnt saw the link before..

although i don't understand, because i'm pretty sure that i had mounted proc properly into the chrooted system.. but indeed the rm -rf problem seems to be related to that. okay i'll see if i come through it now.. thx again

Np, I'm always happy to help out

. If I had a penny for every time I've seen permissions and / or mounts magically screwed up...
