I have been updating my home "production" machines weekly for the past 5 years, tracking stable (/12, at present). I mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS from a dedicated build machine, "make install..." on each "client" machine (to a fresh copy of the currently-=booted slice), then reboot from the just-updated slice.
This has been working very well -- until today.
This morning, on one machine (but not the others), the steps up to (and
including):
make installworld DESTDIR=/S1
seem to work OK, but then
mergemaster -F -U -u 0022 -i -D /S1
fails:
...
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 ldd32 /S1/usr/bin/ldd32

*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot

*** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot
*** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /usr/src and install files to
the temproot environment
I tried running mergemaster via "sh -x" and found that it is at line 663
that it's failing, so it got through:
${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} distrib-dirs >/dev/null
${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=${TEMPROOT} distrib-dirs >/dev/null &&
${MM_MAKE} _obj SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=etc >/dev/null &&
and then at
${MM_MAKE} everything SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=etc >/dev/null &&
progress comes to a screeching halt.
/usr/src and /usr/obj are (still) mounted (read-only)), and I keep
clocks in sync.
mergemaster's Id string is:
# $FreeBSD: stable/12/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh 357082 2020-01-24

The client macxhine in question is running:

The build machine is running:

r...@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC
amd64 1201520 1201520
(and thus, the client machine is trying to update from r363556 to r363768).
I see no (other) messages logged at the point of failure (checking for
reported disk errors, for example).
Any hints, clues, or suggestions?
Thanks!
Peace,
david
