In summary: installing a LiveCD created livecd-creator, anaconda fails to set the ownership & group of a couple of directories. Looking inside the ext3 img (inside the squashfs), the directory owner/group is set correctly and passwd and group files contain the correct entries. This is all on F7 - I am building a F7 livecd in a mock chroot running F7. The package is a custom package, and it succeeds in installing things correctly - no errors during the creation of the livecd, and looking inside the squashfs/ext3 fs confirms that things are right. The only "oddify" is that the directories that are showing this problem are /library/xs-rsync/pub /library/xs-rsync/tmp /library/xs-rsync/stage and /library is a mountpoint (containing nothing else at the moment). The rest of the system is on under a / (root) mountpoint. Looking at /var/log/anaconda.log there are some odd entries saying "INFO: set fc of /path to None" for several paths, including /library and all its contents (literally, every file and directory in the partition). Any hints? Possible debug angles I should try? BTW, if you want to see the %pre and %attrib creating the user/grp - it is here http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/martin/xs-rsync.git;a=blob;f=xs-rsync.spec.in;h=88a3f492ea8e3e878ea4fefb6d19c98f0f39ee88;hb=HEAD - though I doubt it's interesting. I'm off to grep through the anaconda sources - this is on anaconda-11.2.0.66-1 cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
