Let me state a couple of given's up front: 1) I would post this on a FreeSBIE list if I could find one. 2) I think the issue I have right now is not understanding completely the limitations of cpio.
My problem is that when building the file system to use for making the iso cpio fails when copying some of the files saying "Operation not permitted". These are some of the files fairly important to the operating system like libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and lib/libc.so.7. I don't see any reason for copying the other 16,540 files and failing on these 22 important files. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a better understanding of what's going on, or even just call me an idiot and tell me the simple thing I've missed? Either will be appreciated. Joe. <Details> I'm using 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #2, and freesbie-2.0.20070710 from ports. I've updated the kernel conf file to match GENERIC, with the following lines from the original FreeSBIE kernel added at the end: device bktr options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT device pf device pflog device pfsync options IPSTEALTH options IPDIVERT options GEOM_UZIP options GEOM_LABEL options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE The system seems to build fine but hits a snag in this section of the script: # If FILE_LIST isn't defined... if [ -z "${FILE_LIST:-}" ]; then # then copy the whole filesystem find . -print -depth | cpio -dump -l -v ${CLONEDIR} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1 else # else pass it to cpio ... more code to dump filenames from ${FILE_LIST} to cpio ... fi If I try to run it manually on one of the files that fails, I get this: slug# echo "/usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1" | cpio -dump -l -v /usr/local/freesbie-clone /usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 cpio: Can't create '/usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie- fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1': Operation not permitted 0 blocks I can use cp to copy the file, so I don't understand what's going on here. Does anyone have any ideas? </Details> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
