Public bug reported: When I updated my pxeboot/nfs system to 10.10, several applets failed to load, and the log files contained the following messages: Oct 19 22:25:58 computer08 kernel: [ 66.326808] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: gconfd-2 (fsuid 1000) Oct 19 22:26:05 computer08 kernel: [ 73.491138] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: gconfd-2 (fsuid 114) Oct 19 22:26:05 computer08 kernel: [ 73.580608] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: gdm-session-wor (fsuid 1000) Oct 19 22:26:09 computer08 kernel: [ 77.545565] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: indicator-apple (fsuid 1000) Oct 19 22:26:09 computer08 kernel: [ 77.670861] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: indicator-apple (fsuid 1000)
Setting kernel.yama.protected_nonaccess_hardlinks=0 allows everything to work. The read-only root is configured according to the instructions at http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/2009/01/27/how-to-build-a-read-only- linux-system . It uses a initramfs script to create a tmpfs, move /, and mount the aufs union filesystem on / early in the boot process. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "non-accessable symlink" errors when using aufs-shaddowed read-only root filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
