[Bug 584200] New: kiwi: genisoimage -follow-links does not always work correctly
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584200 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584200#c0 Summary: kiwi: genisoimage -follow-links does not always work correctly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: ASSIGNED Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: ms@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: ---
The call to genisoimage is in both cases also the same.
When I ran genisoimage loose, on the image source tree prepared by kiwi, the log begins with: "Warning: -follow-links does not always work correctly; be careful." But its logging is not detailed at all, so that's I all I could find. The genisoimage version I use is 1.1.9-3.2, the default that comes with suse 11.2.
===> the image file is not part of the ISO and so the image does not work but no error from the iso creation tool :( -- 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.
