Hello,
I have been having trouble creating a rpm database as a non-root user on an nfs mount. Is this possible?
I am running RH v7.2 (Kernel: 2.4.9-e.25).
Here's an example:
[test@server test]$ rpm --initdb --dbpath /test/local.linux.200311/rpmdb error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
If I run this same command to a local directory (/var/tmp/rpmdb) it work's successfully. Any suggestions?
Additionally if I run the same command on a Linux server running RH 9.0 (Kernel: 2.4.20-8) to a nfs mount running the same OS ver it works..
Can there be problems with the rpm package manager in RH 7.2 (rpm-4.0.4-7x.20) vs. RH 9.0 (rpm-4.2-0.69)?
Thanks!
You can't access an rpmdb through NFS, see details at www.sleepycat.com.
