First attempt to emerge app-office/openoffice-3.2.0 fails due to missing intermediate results file. (See attached excerpt from the build log.) Immediately re-executing the emerge will succeed. This behavior is repeatable, but each try will take a long day, so I wont do it very often. ;-) I've had to rebuild more than once, since I had to add languages to LINGUAS. Each time the same behavior, build twice without reboot to succeed. First trial after a reboot will constantly fail. (And I've made a number of attempts before I noticed the repeatable pattern.) emerge command: # nice emerge app-office/openoffice (Using nice to keep computer responsive to users. Building with '-j1'.) Requirement for success: - Must not reboot between emerges, thereby *not* cleaning out /var/tmp/ or /tmp directories. (This computer must be shutdown over night, due to family requirements. ;-) Recipe for failure: - Shutdown and restart between emerges. (Repeatable.) Build logs: I will attach a relevant part of the failing build log. Upon specific request, I will be happy to attach the full build logs from both the failing build and the succeeding build immediately following the failure. The build logs are big. The failing build produces a log of about 5MB and the succeeding log is almost 7MB. (Not sure if such can be uploaded to bugzilla.) Please, note: The emerge fails in different places each time. It is *not* the same error each time. But, if emerging twice, it will definitively succeed. Me thinks some delay while creating intermediate results, but that's nothing but a gut feeling. Odd, since I build with '-j1', as instructed by the ebuild. The very fact that the ebuild instructs me to build with '-j1' make me think that I'm not the first one having seen unexplained behaviors in this area. In the exact moment of the failure, there is still 96GB of free disk space on the file system where both /var/tmp and /tmp reside. Swap is used to about 25%.

Created attachment 225799 [details] A partial build log from a failed build attempt. Provided a build log that was reduced due to its size. The original failing log file of about 5MB can be provided upon request. A log from a successful build can be provided on request, but this log will be about 7MB.
Did you check that you got enough room for many new inodes on the partition ? This might stop the build process to create new files even if there is plenty of free space. You can check with "df -ih".
Thanks for the tip, but... It seems to me that reiserfs doesn't provide this information (??). ####################### The problematic computer, where openoffice fails to build first time (AMD64). From /etc/fstab : /dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 # df -ih Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda3 0 0 0 - / udev 126K 2.3K 123K 2% /dev # etc... ####################### Another computer I have (X86). Never tried to install openoffice here. From /etc/fstab : /dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 /dev/hdc1 /var/cache/http-replicator reiserfs noatime 0 2 # df -ih Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/hda3 0 0 0 - / udev 47K 2.2K 45K 5% /dev /dev/hdc1 0 0 0 - /var/cache/http-replicator # etc... ####################### Yet another computer I have, AMD64, no openoffice. From /etc/fstab : /dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 # df -ih Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda3 0 0 0 - / udev 465K 2.6K 462K 1% /dev # etc... Three examples of computers where reiserfs doesn't provide the inode information. Have I done anything wrong in the setup of those? Regards GuS

Do you still see this problem with 3.2.1? Works fine here, also with the first merge on a new machine...
Well, that was back in late March. My currently installed version (3.2.1.), installed at first go. I assume that was the case for 3.2.0 as well, but for my life, I can't remember it any more. I guess this bug could now be closed, so I change the status to Resolved, WONTFIX. Change it further if you feel the resolution should be different.
