It definitely has the schg flag set; and if I use the holographic shell to remove that flag, and retry installation (which the installer prompts for) it will complete successfully. I selected a custom distribution set, including: base, kernels (GENERIC only), man, info, games, and doc. I can work around the issue, but I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong or there is a bug in the installer. >How-To-Repeat: Select binary upgrade. Pick the following distributions: base, kernel (GENERIC), doc, info, man, games. The install should fail almost immediately with a write error. The log VT should show a cpio/gzip error writing to var/empty >Fix: A workaround is to use the "holographic shell" on vt 4 to chflags noschg /var/empty. Retrying the installation should succeed at that point. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
