[Bug 223519] New: rescue: /root/ read-only, partimage missing, perl scripts ?!
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223519 Summary: rescue: /root/ read-only, partimage missing, perl scripts ?! Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: qa@suse.de the directory /root/. in rescue system is read-only. this causes trouble e.g. with ssh: ssh tries to create ~/.ssh/known_hosts which does not work. so it asks about a "new" host for eveyr single connection -- and creation of some (temporary) ssh keys doesn't work either. I tried to set HOME to /tmp/ but ssh still tries to create/use /root/.ssh/ :-( it would be very helpful if /root/ would be writable again (rescue in SUSE 10.1 shows the same problem with read-only /root/.) two more comments about the rescue system: 1) tool suggestion: I'm missing "partimage" in the SUSE rescue system to efficiently copy/clone file systems. this is one reason why I have to boot knoppix or (k)ubuntu or similar by time. 2) perl ?!? rescue doesn't include perl (no problem for me as long as there is awk ;-) but you include a number of perl scripts/tools which doesn't make sense to me: # grep -rl usr/bin/perl *bin/* usr/*bin/* sbin/chkconfig sbin/evms_gather_info sbin/module_upgrade usr/bin/chkdupexe usr/bin/mkinfodir usr/bin/rsyncstats usr/bin/scriptreplay usr/bin/socklist usr/sbin/grubonce usr/sbin/keytab-lilo.pl usr/sbin/sgcheck -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
