Created attachment 526090 [details] debugging output of failing libguestfs mount After an oz install of a JEOS image, post configuration fails because libguestfs fails to mount the image with: >> febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /home/local: >> File not found by ext2_lookup Image subsequently manually boots w/o issue. Oddly, /home/local exists as a symlink target on the host, not the guest, and renaming the target to /home/local.o (breaking the link) resolves the issue. More info: >> [root@alien ~]# uname -r >> 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64 >> [root@alien ~]# rpm -q libguestfs >> libguestfs-1.10.9-1.fc15.x86_64 I've installed local laptop separating "data" as /home from "system" as root directory /, then symlink /usr/local --> /home/local. >> [bowe@alien oz]$ ll /usr/local >> lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 May 26 08:41 /usr/local -> /home/local >> [bowe@alien oz]$ sudo virt-df /var/lib/libvirt/images/aeolus_rhel6.dsk >> febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /home/local: >> File not found by ext2_lookup renaming the symlink target, however (and thus breaking the link), things work: >> [bowe@alien oz]$ sudo mv /home/local /home/local.o >> [bowe@alien oz]$ sudo virt-df /var/lib/libvirt/images/aeolus_rhel6.dsk >> Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% >> aeolus_rhel6.dsk:/dev/sda1 198337 26652 161445 14% >> aeolus_rhel6.dsk:/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 >> 8547036 1023520 7089340 12% Full trace of failure attached.
This is a bug in febootstrap-supermin-helper (even in latest version 3.10). Reassigning ... I should say it's not so easy to fix. You might want to work around it by removing the /usr/local/* lines in the file /usr/lib*/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles
yep, works. thanks for workaround!
'febootstrap' named to 'supermin' in Fedora 19.
I've seen this on RHEL 6.4. Interestingly it was working fine last week. Started playing up this week. Testing the removal of /usr/local
(In reply to comment #4) > I've seen this on RHEL 6.4. Interestingly it was working fine last week. > Started playing up this week. Testing the removal of /usr/local The issue was found to be that Peter didn't have enough free space on /tmp or /var/tmp for the libguestfs appliance to be built.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
