Hello, When root (/) is read-only, but, /lib64/rc/{cache,tmp} are read-writable as below: ls --color=always --classify --human-readable -l --sort=time --reverse --all /lib64/rc total 28K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 20 2014 cache.old/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 21 2014 cache -> /var/rc/cache/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 21 2014 tmp -> /var/rc/tmp/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 21 2014 console -> /var/rc/console/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Jun 30 00:37 version drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Jun 30 00:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 30 00:37 bin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 30 00:37 sh/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 30 00:37 sbin/ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4.0K Jul 29 00:30 ../ savecache should check if /lib64/rc/cache is writable when saving the dependency cache on shutdown. Instead, savecache is checking the permissions of /lib64/rc and is assuming that any child directories would have the same permissions too. Please let me know if you need more information, Thanks Reproducible: Always
Pushed a much better implemented savecache to master; Joe confirms it works for his case, and I know it still handles the other important cases.
