Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 426810
The working directory option isn't applied to livecd-creator
Last modified: 2008-05-23 06:42:23 EDT
Description of problem: When I used the --working-directory option to have scratch space on a file system that had enough room while creating live media, I ran into a problem because when revisor ran livecd-creator it didn't tell livecd-creator to use the scratch area and it used its default of /var/tmp. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run revisor with live media and a specified working directory 2. 3. Actual results: The working directory isn't used when livecd-creator is run. Expected results: That livecd-creator would use the specified working directory. Additional info:
Investigating
What we're seeing is that the installroot setting for yum (/var/tmp/revisor by default) is being used to loopmount the live media filesystem on. This isn't consuming any space on the /var/tmp/ filesystem but I can see where it can work confusing. Revisor might want to override the setting in the yum configuration if the working_directory has been changed.
There's no way Revisor can change this on the fly. Please adjust the installroot setting in the appropriate YUM configuration file (/etc/revisor/conf.d/) to reflect the working directory you configure for Revisor
