I tried truss(1)ing the mtree process. But that's somewhat
pointless with 550MB of /usr files and only 200MB of free disk
space (truss will produce a complete line of text for every 1K of
data read, and mtree seems to compute every checksum separately).
That's when script(1) or "truss mtree 2> logfile" won't work.
I guess I have to dig into setting up multilog from the
daemontools package for this particular purpose. I hope to have
the stderr tail of truss available, then. Maybe I can tell you
soon which syscall results in the ENOENT(?) error.
Am I really alone in seeing this erroneous message or am I one of
very few people using mtree for more than a "make hierarchy"? I
wouldn't think so. At least I hoped to have some users jumping
in saying "me too, preferably under _these_ conditions" ...
