I wanted to install x86-chroot on my amd64 laptop, but the installation failed as the dev files could not be created: "[...] Unpacking stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/x86-c hroot-2006.1/work/opt/x86-chroot tar: ./dev/atibm: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted [...]" I had just forgotten that my /var was on a dedicated partition, mounted with 'nodev' option, so that the unpacking was devoted to fail miserably. I don't know if the partition could be remounted with Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have /var on a partition mounted with 'nodev' option 2. 3. Actual Results: the unpacking of x86 stage3 fails because tar can not create the dev files. Expected Results: the ebuild should check if the partition containing PORTAGE_TMPDIR is mounted with 'nodev' option. If true, it should be temporarily remounted without that option.
Sorry... :-( but it seems like I should have check before writing the bug report... I tried to remount both /usr and /var with 'dev' option to remove 'nodev', but the ebuild still fails to unpack the stage3... I tried also to remove the sandbox and usesandbox features, but it did not help either. Hum... I don't have any other idea yet.
Are you using FEATURES="userpriv"? Please post emerge --info output.

I tried to remove userpriv from my features, and the installation could be normally completed.
