Erich,
I've been attempting an "Oscar 4.2 + CentOS 4.4 + SunFire X4100" threesome since about the first week of September. I'm having to level the OS on the X4100 for the third time today.
That work-around sounds *very* interesting, btw. I'm in the middle of downloading the 5.0 beta, but am reluctant to throw down a gauntlet on a production-server...I'll give that fix a shot.
On Centos4.4 I'd currently prefer 5.0beta2, because with it you will be able
to update your RPMs easier than with 4.2. Also some components of 4.2 aren't
really supported any more...
Just so I have it clear, if the image name for my cluster is "ninja_penguins", there will be a directory called "ninja_penguins" that's used as the root of the image, correct?
Yes, the image path is:
/var/lib/systemimager/images/ninja_penguins/
Regards,
Erich

Hi,
I suppose you are using one of the released OSCAR versions (4.2?)?
The problem you see comes from a fix of an old bug in "rpm". It was taking the
transaction lock of the root filesystem instead of the image, nobody noticed
this until recently. Since it was fixed "rpm" tries to create the lock inside
the image, which is correct. Unfortunately the subdirectory for the lock
doesn't exist.
This issue should be fixed in the beta version of OSCAR 5.0. We will release
this soon and it should be reasonably stable.
A workaround for the older versions is to create the image directory and
inside it the subdirectory /var/lock/rpm _before_ trying to create the image.
Good luck!
Erich
