Woods >Release: FreeBSD/mips >Organization: Planix, Inc. >Environment: >Description: I'm building the FreeBSD/mips project using a (virtual) machine running FreeBSD-8.0-RC2 with source, obj, and destdir NFS mounted (from a NetBSD server). During the "installworld" phase, being run as root (sigh, why must I do any of the build as root?), I encounter the following error: install -s -o root -g wheel -m 4555 chpass /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chfn -> /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chpass /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chsh -> /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chpass chflags schg /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chpass chflags: /once/rest/work/freebsd-mips//usr/bin/chpass: Operation not supported *** Error code 1 Stop in /once/rest/work/woods/m-FreeBSD-mips/usr.bin/chpass. >How-To-Repeat: run installworld to an NFS-mounted DESTDIR? >Fix: Don't ever run any of the build or install as root. (at least not when building install media, or doing cross-compile builds, etc.) Do chflags operations during final install only! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
