Bug 20334

Summary:	baselayout-1.8.5.9 fails with ro floppy
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Tim Shadel <timpub>
Component:	New packages	Assignee:	Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) <azarah>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	minor
Priority:	High
Version:	1.4_rc3
Hardware:	x86
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---

Description Tim Shadel 2003-05-02 11:55:05 UTC

The baselayout merge tries to write /mnt/floppy/.keep (I assume from the other
similar /mnt/ commands listed before the failure).  So if I have a read only
/mnt/floppy drive mounted, it fails.  This isn't fun when I expect to emerge a
bunch of things overnight, only to find an early ebuild failed.

WORKAROUND: umount /mnt/floppy, run ebuild, mount /mnt/floppy

If the ebuild could skip ro mounts that would be good, but I don't know much
about what it needs to do so that may not be feasible.  At least not failing
would be helpful.
