• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Philipp Riegger 2008-08-26 11:15:41 UTC]

While emerging openssh, i get the following error:

mkdir /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/openssh-5.1_p1-r1/image/etc/ssh

[Comment 1 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2008-08-26 18:15:23 UTC]

You built coreutils with USE=acl & USE=xattr (the issue is with xattr) but don't have kernel or filesystem support for xattrs.

You need to fix your setup.

[Comment 2 Philipp Riegger 2008-08-27 07:57:14 UTC]

Maybe i misunderstood the acl/xattr concept. I switched to using it recently, compiled the support in the kernel and added acl and user_xattr to the mount options. Do i have to change the ext3-filesystem for that?

I don't have acl and xattr on my nfs mounts (/home, /usr/portage) because it's not possibel there, AFAIK.

[Comment 3 Philipp Riegger 2008-08-28 09:48:13 UTC]

I still don't understand this. I have xattr enabled on /var/tmp and /etc, so I don't understand what is the problem here.

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,data=ordered)
...
/dev/mapper/space-tmp on /var/tmp type ext3 (rw,noatime,user_xattr,acl)

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2008-09-09 02:56:34 UTC]

Not a LPK/HPN issue. Re-assigning to base-system.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2008-10-26 04:11:17 UTC]

probably related to Bug 219844

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2009-02-22 00:13:20 UTC]

should be fixed with coreutils-7.1
