Bug 20908 – supermount-mounted cdrom causes emerge to crash

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Bernd Wurst 2003-05-13 05:38:38 UTC]

I use supermount (and as the gentoo-sources do have this enabled, you should
think there are others that have so) for my cdrom.
As I update baselayout, it tries to create a new /mnt/cdrom folder which results
in a i/o-error in the portage python-script.

Unregarded that there is no need to create mountpoints that I do not want (why
the heck do I ned /mnt/floppy), this should not break emerge at all. I would
prefer if baselayout does not create any mountpoint.

I have the same grievance against baselayout.  It is not compatable with supermount mounted filesystems.

Huh?

Anyhow, this issue is fixed (or should be) in baselayout-1.8.6.7.

I emerged baselayout 1.8.6.7 this morning (app. 7:00am GMT) and the error occured.

I will try to re-emerge it tomorrow.
Could it be that autoclean tries to remove the mountpoints because they were part of the older baselayout-version? Just another suggestion... I did not see when the error was exactly, I just saw the error message there.

Hey, what's going on!
I thought it was fixed (it worked one day), but now I have to see this!

this has nothing todo with supermount and is an issue with portage.
