Description of problem: When building an appliance deep in the filesystem in location as deep as "/mnt/jenkins/workspace/workspace/Bigtop-VM-matrix/SVN_BRANCH/branches/hadoop-0.22/VM_KIND/virtualbox/label/fedora15/build/build/appliances/x86_64/centos/6/bigtop_hadoop/2.0/centos-plugin/", boxgrinder would fail when calling grub. When talking about it on irc with Marek Goldmann, it was determined grub could not handle such long paths and I was asked to open a ticket for making grub being called from the chroot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest boxgrinder version on fedora 15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a long path 2. Build an appliance from within that long path 3. boxgrinder would fail when trying to call grub Actual results: No appliance built Expected results: Appliance built Additional info: Here is an example of a failing build: http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-VM-matrix/10/SVN_BRANCH=branches%2Fhadoop-0.23,VM_KIND=kvm,label=fedora15/console For now the workaround has been to reduce the length of the build path
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
