Description Ben Konrath 2005-05-11 19:05:23 UTC

When I try to update the filesystem package, I get the the following output:

Running Transaction
  Updating  : filesystem                   ######################### [1/2]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home: cpio: chown

Updated: filesystem.i386 0:2.3.2-1
Complete!

An nfs partition is mounted on /home on this machine. Is this causing the problem?

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-05-11 19:11:37 UTC

Yes, if that's the case you need:

%_netsharedpath /home

in /etc/rpm/macros

Comment 2 Ben Konrath 2005-05-11 19:18:25 UTC

Shouldn't this be automatically detected? IMO, a user shouldn't have to know
this kind of thing? Anyway, just a thought.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2005-05-11 19:23:18 UTC

Well, conceivably you *could* want RPM to write to a network filesystem. Not
sure how common a usage case that is.
