While installing Hardened Gentoo using install-amd64-minimal-20130801.iso and stage3-amd64-hardened-20130801.tar.bz2 I've mounted tmpfs to /var/tmp/portage to speedup installation. Also I'm using PAX_XATTR marking (I've PAX_MARKINGS="XT" in /etc/make.conf). All packages was emerges successfully except skype - it failed with this error: >>> Install skype-4.2.0.11-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/net-im/skype-4.2.0.11-r1/image/ category net-im * XT PaX marking -m with paxctl-ng * /var/tmp/portage/net-im/skype-4.2.0.11-r1/image//opt/bin/skype * Failed to set XATTR_PAX markings -m for: * /var/tmp/portage/net-im/skype-4.2.0.11-r1/image//opt/bin/skype * ERROR: net-im/skype-4.2.0.11-r1 failed (install phase): * (no error message) * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_install * environment, line 2562: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * pax-mark Cm "${ED}"/opt/bin/${PN} || die; I've work around this issue by unmounting tmpfs from /var/tmp/portage/ … but it's very strange, because on my other up-to-date Hardened Gentoo skype installs just fine with tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage/ and I didn't see anything wrong with install.iso's kernel configuration (it have CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y).

That's confusing. Can you manually try: setfattr -n user.pax.flags -v "m" test-program on the iso's tmpfs filesystem and see if you get an "Operation not supported"
@Alex ping. can you let me know where we are with this?
(In reply to Anthony Basile from comment #2) > @Alex ping. can you let me know where we are with this? I've already completed that installation, so to answer on your test-request I've to try to install it again, this time in some virtual machine because I don't have that notebook anymore. It's in my todo, but I don't think I'll have time for this in next several days.
@hardened: Do you want this bug? Or shall we close it as NEEDINFO?
It's more likely it works now that I've CC'ed hardened.
(In reply to Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto from comment #4) > @hardened: > > Do you want this bug? Or shall we close it as NEEDINFO? Only the hardened kernel supports xattr in tmpfs last I checked. I'll let another member of hardened reopen this if they really need to. Please use a hardened cd (admincd) if you are going to be compiling using the livecd kernel. Or better yet, install a kernel and reboot into your system before building/updating.
