After running "mksquashfs /src dest.squash -info -keep-as-directory" I found that it both segfaulted and /src did exist. The utility should handle this case properly and not segfault. Possibly relating to this, I found the resulting dest.squash was completely corrupted with directory names of jibberish. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mksquashfs /exists dest.squash -info -keep-as-directory 2. mksquashfs /dosnt-exist dest.squash -info -keep-as-directory 3. mount -t squashfs -o loop dest.squash /mnt/floppy Actual Results: step #2 segfaults and the contents of the squashfs image is corrupted Expected Results: error message is printed by mksquashfs and the contents of the image are that of /exists Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-pipe -O3 -march=k8" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O3 -march=k8" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt curl dvd encode esd fam flac foomaticdb fortran gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg libvisual libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad motif mp3 mpeg multilib ncurses network nls ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl softmmu speex spell sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
I just added squashfs-tools 2.2 into portage. Can you see if this resolves your problem, please?
Will do when it gets into the portage mirrors.
Tested, it does not segfault but still produces a squashfs image when the src does not exist.
This should be fixed in 2.2_p2 ebuild... Thanks to the author for being so quick and making a new version for me... ;]
Tested, works perfectly.
