 |

Hi,
I just encountered the same error Macros73 had in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=9659&highlight=invalid+argument
while emerging db-3... I have had it too with ghostscript, like Macros73
The error:
| Code: | | /bin/cp: preserving permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/db-3.2.9-r1/image//usr/docs/utility': Invalid argument |
When I do a manual
| Code: | | cp -av /var/tmp/portage/db-3.2.9-r1/image/usr/docs/ /tmp/ |
I get the same.
Now I do
| Code: | | cp -av /var/tmp/portage/db-3.2.9-r1/image/usr/docs/ /share2/ |
and things work fine  
The difference: /tmp/ is mounted on an xfs volume, /share2/ is ext2
Does anybody know what's going on
Cheers

Ok, was getting kind of desperate, so found the solution myself... 
It is an XFS-bug indeed. Kind of surprised there's so little people having this problem.
It's an ACL problem, just disable it in the kernel (under filesystems).
More info here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=102341386130406&w=2
I suppose the problem arises when you enable ACL's but don't set them, as in my case. I just compiled it in for possible future use and didn't do anything about it...

If you want to keep ACL there is a patch in bugzilla that fixes the bug. I wrote a little walk though on how to apply the patch here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=8658
