I never was able to reproduce this behavior but there are more than one customer outside who had that problem. I think this is a genisoimage bug but if it sometimes work and sometimes not I'd like to make sure that it's not the way kiwi creates the tree which is the reason for the problem inside kiwi I have a hotfix moving the image file instead of linking it but this causes severe performance loss as soon as you do that over filesystem boundaries like we do with studio (tmpfs) Thanks -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

people reported the problem that genisoimage does not include the image file if it is a symbolic link to another file. Even though --follow-links is set genisoimage just said:

Warning: -follow-links does not always work correctly

and proceed without any error.

I'd like to know from the people who had that problem if they can verify whether their target directory this is the one you have set with -d | --destdir in kiwi is at the same filesystem than /tmp

Could you help me with this question ?

I had this problem and in my case everything is on the same filesystem. Straightforward, one local partition with ext4. I used as target /tmp/kiwi/... btw I hope this is of any use, Zdravko -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
