Description Frank Aune 2003-06-30 05:30:02 UTC

If you have set up your removable media with supermount, and try emerging one 
of the newest baselayout ebuilds, it will fail. The reason is that the merging 
process goes through /mnt among others and looks for .keep I recon. And then 
the supermount kicks in and tries to access the media. 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up supermount
2.Try emerge baselayout
3.Watch it fail on the merge process right at the end

Actual Results:  
I can simply unmount my supermount removable medias and re-emerge baselayout, 
and it completes successfully.

Expected Results:  
The solution you need to implement, is a simple umount /mnt/floppy /mnt/cdrom 
etc (taken from fstab), right in the beginning of the merging process. This 
will make the merge work as expected.
