 |
|
I'm installing a new machine and following this user wiki page:
User:Sakaki/Sakaki's EFI Install Guide/Building the Gentoo Base System Minus Kernel
I'm on the step: "Installing an Up-to-Date Portage Tree" and after having given the following command:
| Code: | (chroot) livecd / # emain sync --auto
|
I get an error like so:
| Code: | ...
Performing Global Updates
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
!!! It seems run is not mounted. Process management may malfunction.
=== Sync completed for gentoo
Action: sync for repo: gentoo, returned code = 0
|
Update: /run actually exists, so not sure what's happening here.
Thoughts? |

So... it basically says there were no errors.
Is there any other problem?
Run is probably only mounted outside of chroot. But it's OK, it's just a tmpfs, putting those files on a disk instead doesn't change much. Keep going. |

The message says mounted, and that is what it is testing. The directory may exist, but it was not a mountpoint, so you get that diagnostic. |

Sakaki's EFI Install Guide is no longer maintained and may have dated content.
Moved from Installing Gentoo to Unsupported Software.

It's on the root fs, but there's nothing to be mounted. |

Ok, hate to abandon this install as I don't see anything to replace it, but it's dated. Other stuff is breaking further down. |

| The directory /run on the root filesystem is meant to be a mountpoint for a tmpfs used for early run activity. If it is not a mountpoint, then the writes go to the root fs, which is at best wasteful and at worst may cause problems. |

Tzuriel,
Don't abandon the install.
Tell us what you did,
What happened
What you expected to happen.
I'm sure it will be fixable once we understand where you are and what the problem in.
During the chroot part of the install, /run being on permanent storage is not a real issue.
The will be some junk left there but not much.
Once you boot into your own system, /run will become a mount point and a tmpfs will be mounted there, hiding the junk on the permanent storage.
