[oe] do_rootfs file or not to file....

[Patrick Fischer]

Hello oe

maybe i have a email problem. so sorry if you receive this email double.

We have a strange do_rootfs problem.
After update to Ubuntu 8.04 and debian testing we can't run do_rootfs anymore.

Sometimes it is a file which is no file or a dir which is not a dir:

In this case a dir was created with mkdir and the next ls -l line shows that 
it is a file:

######
+ rm -rf /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/
+ mkdir -p /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/
+ ls -l /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May  8 
14:03 /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/
+ 
cp -r /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/usr/local/ /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/
cp: target `/usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/' is not 
a directory
######

Also it could be inverted. A file copied by cp is a dir.

######
mkfs.jffs2 -x 
lzo --root=/usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs/../rootfs_2/ --faketime --output=/usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/deploy/images/rootfs.jffs2 --little-endian -e 
128 --pad=27131904 
mkfs.jffs2: opening 
directory /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/rootfs_2/lib/libblaconfig.so.0: 
Not a directory 
######

The really strange thing is that if I run 
the /usr/src/trunk/projects/base/build/tmp/work/boxr5-1.0-r0/temp/run.do_rootfs.12648 
by hand, it works fine. The Problem is not always at the same line!!

I read something about "switch from RiserFS to ext3" but I have ext3.
/bin/sh is bash

I'm not sure but the scripts are called from within python??
The workstation which failed are using Python 2.5.2.
Python 2.4.4 -> works
Python 2.5.2 -> fails 

I'm not allown, in this Forum some people have the same problem:

Maybe somebody knows a fix.
