Re: [opensuse-buildservice] Invalid cross-device link

I'm running a local OBS (1.7.1). I have the /srv/obs/build directory tree mounted via NFS. (Disk space issues).

When a package build finishes, I'm seeing this error in the scheduler log:

rename /srv/obs/jobs/<arch>//package.src.rpm /srv/obs/<proj>/<dist>/<arch>/pkg/pkg.src.rpm: Invalid cross-device link. (and similar for <arch>.rpm)

I can see why there's a cross-device link: /srv/obs/job isn't the same device as /srv/obs/build.

it tries to hard link from /src/obs/jobs to /build to /repos.

But is there any reason why this has to fail? I know in previous releases of OBS, this wasn't an issue... I realize a copy between filesystems is far more expensive than a move within the same FS, but why does it break outright?

it was always an issue. We have since a long time.

If I simply set the entire /srv/obs dir to be mounted via NFS, I run into file locking issues (at least I think I am - dmesg mentions that it can't get an NFS lock)

So is there a new set of constraints on the disk layout in the newer versions of OBS (last I used was 1.5.x), or am I missing something else?

seriously, don't use NFS. never. Designing OBS without NFS due to all kind of problems was one of our first rules we defined. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
