mergemaster whines "... can't install files to the temproot environment"
I have been updating my home "production" machines weekly for the past 5 years, tracking stable (/12, at present). I mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS from a dedicated build machine, "make install..." on each "client" machine (to a fresh copy of the currently-=booted slice), then reboot from the just-updated slice. This has been working very well -- until today. This morning, on one machine (but not the others), the steps up to (and including): make installworld DESTDIR=/S1 seem to work OK, but then mergemaster -F -U -u 0022 -i -D /S1 fails: ... install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 ldd32 /S1/usr/bin/ldd32 -------------------------------------------------------------->>> Installing everything completed on Sun Aug 2 18:56:41 UTC 2020-------------------------------------------------------------- *** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /usr/src and install files to the temproot environment I tried running mergemaster via "sh -x" and found that it is at line 663 that it's failing, so it got through: ${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} distrib-dirs >/dev/null ${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=${TEMPROOT} distrib-dirs >/dev/null && ${MM_MAKE} _obj SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=etc >/dev/null && and then at ${MM_MAKE} everything SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=etc >/dev/null && progress comes to a screeching halt. /usr/src and /usr/obj are (still) mounted (read-only)), and I keep clocks in sync. mergemaster's Id string is: # $FreeBSD: stable/12/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh 357082 2020-01-24 15:29:33Z kevans $ The client macxhine in question is running: bats(12.1-S)[4] uname -aUK FreeBSD bats.catwhisker.org 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE #619 r363556M/363556: Sun Jul 26 04:29:59 PDT 2020 root at freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/BATS amd64 1201520 1201520 The build machine is running: freebeast(12.1-S)[1] uname -aUK FreeBSD freebeast.catwhisker.org 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE #976 r363768M/363769: Sun Aug 2 03:48:48 PDT 2020 root at freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64 1201520 1201520 (and thus, the client machine is trying to update from r363556 to r363768). I see no (other) messages logged at the point of failure (checking for reported disk errors, for example). Any hints, clues, or suggestions? Thanks! Peace, david -- David H.
