• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

>>> Merging sys-fs/udev-077-r5 to /
(...)
>>> /lib/udev/raid-devfs.sh
--- /lib/udev/devices/
!!! /lib/udev/devices/null
!!! Failed to move /var/tmp/portage/udev-077-r5/image/lib/udev/devices/zero to /lib/udev/devices/zero
!!! [Errno 28] No space left on device

In my case after that /lib/udev/devices/zero has something about 900 MB and my / is filled completly.

Heh, that's pretty funny.

But strange, it works fine for me here.  And I haven't heard any other complaints.

Perhaps a portage issue?

[Comment 3 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 16:28:53 UTC]

Oh, and can you provide the output of:
 ls -l /var/tmp/portage/udev-077-r5/image/lib/udev/devices/

please?

[Comment 4 Piotr Jaroszyński (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 16:34:52 UTC]

On my second box it works fine too and the only big difference is that i use selinux on that one with this error.

New details:
upto udev-077-r3 everything is ok.
r3 and r4 fail with this strange error.

[Comment 5 Piotr Jaroszyński (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 16:35:51 UTC]

and the output you asked for:

$ ls -l /var/tmp/portage/udev-077-r5/image/lib/udev/devices/
total 12K
crw-------  1 root tty  5, 1 Oct 22  2000 console
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 3 Oct 22  2000 null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 5 Oct 22  2000 zero

[Comment 6 Piotr Jaroszyński (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 16:46:22 UTC]

disabling selinux flag solves the problem.

[Comment 7 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 17:11:54 UTC]

Disabling the flag when you build udev?  Why would that change anything? 
Does portage do something differently then?

[Comment 8 Piotr Jaroszyński (RETIRED) 2005-12-16 17:46:07 UTC]

Yes i meant:
USE=-selinux emerge -av =udev-077-r5

I've once more tried to compile udev-077-r5 with selinux flag enabled and this time(after successfuly emerging r5 without selinux flag) it succeed. I was really shocked and tried to reproduce earlier error but with no luck.

If you want to, I can attach previous emerge logs, but I don't know whether it is any point in doing so.

Quick change of platform in bugzilla. Sorry about the email.

[Comment 10 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2005-12-19 10:44:06 UTC]

Marking closed, as it isn't reproducable.
