I'll commit it > to FreeBSD base system after writing up the manual. We've been experiencing a couple of difficulties with unionfs after having used it on our build-box for a few weeks. Basically, we have three worlds, one for each current FreeBSD release. We then do a 'mount_unionfs -b -c transparent $worldroot $buildtmp', do a couple of nullfs-mounts, and chroot to $buildtmp. We then start building packages. archivers/arj build always fails - I haven't figured out why yet. - http://hoegaarden.pil.dk/~kvs/arj-3.10.22.tbz.log java/jdk* panics the machine (a 6.1-p5 box) - http://hoegaarden.pil.dk/~kvs/java-panic.log Also, we were having issues with bsdtar. When a port installed shared libraries with libtool, it would overwrite one of the installed hardlinks with a symlink. This resulted in the symlink having an 'opaque' flag set, which bsdtar tried to set on the symlink target. I'm not sure if an opaque-flag is needed on the symlink at all, but our solution was to patch bsdtar so it set the flag on the symlink instead of the target. If there's anything you might need to diagnose any of this, please let me know. -- Best Regards Kenneth Vestergaard Schmidt
