Whoa, careful here. If you use the default settings, /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp which is a tmpfs filesystem on its own and is not on a disk, and hence not under control of LVM; growing /var will not grow /var/tmp. In other words, pbuilder does not use the disk. Also I read the doc on pbuilder and I am concerned that it builds the package using the root account. Is there a way to configure pbuilder to avoid that? i.e. use the root account only to update the packages in the chroot but then use schroot and a normal user account for the actual build? -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
