Bug 14283 – emerge don't install files in bind-mounted /opt directory

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Anton Voloshin 2003-01-21 04:00:31 UTC]

I have /home/opt mounted to /opt with -o bind and when trying to install some
package to /opt (e.g. rar, also other packages) then no files are installed
there - only directories.
I.e. after "emerge rar" we get empty /opt/rar/bin, /opt/rar/lib etc directories.

When I unmount /opt everything works Ok.

what version of portage ? (`emerge -V`) 

[Comment 2 Anton Voloshin 2003-01-21 04:46:22 UTC]

This is on Portage 2.0.46-r9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r2).

I can second this, I've got the *exact* same configuration as mr. Voloshin, and the 
problem is for real. What kind of copying routine does Portage use that is so low 
level that it doesn't work across bind mounted directories?

This also occurs in symlinked directories. See bug 14331 (dupe of this bug,
apparently).

[Comment 6 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2003-01-23 14:34:50 UTC]

Ok. I'll be rewriting that code then for the next release.
Added to my list.

Test out portage-2.0.46-r11 please.

[Comment 9 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2003-02-05 23:09:21 UTC]

To all tests, it is fixed.

[Comment 10 Anton Voloshin 2003-02-06 22:06:30 UTC]

Yes, thanks, now it works Ok for my /opt configuration.
