tc 3.7 not supported on Read-Only File System? (fat32)

while

Code: [Select]

Loading Extensions...Done.
Warning! Errors occred during the loading of the extensions.
Request for /mnt/hda1/tce ignored.Not supported on Read-Only File System.
Press Enter key.
/mnt/hda1 is a fat32  partition, in tc 3.7rc3 and previous versions, is no problems.
is it a bug?
NTFS is OK. 3.7 not supported fat32 ,vfat?

i'm hitting the same problem. my pendrive is fat32 formatted, for compatibility with other live appliances i keep on it.

Code: [Select]

chown -R "$USER".staff "$TCEDIR"
if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
  echo "$MOUNTPOINT" > /etc/sysconfig/tce.mount
  sync
else
  echo "Request for $TCEDIR ignored. Not supported on Read-Only File System." | tee /tmp/aberr
  TCEDIR=/tmp/tce
fi

i think chown usually fails on fat32 mounts.

It's /usr/bin/tce-setup  of tc 3.7

Code: [Select]

TCEDIR="$MOUNTPOINT"/"$TCE_DIR"
chown -R "$USER".staff "$TCEDIR"
if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
  echo "$MOUNTPOINT" > /etc/sysconfig/tce.mount
  sync
else
  echo "Request for $TCEDIR ignored. Not supported on Read-Only File System." | tee /tmp/aberr
  TCEDIR=/tmp/tce
fi
echo "$TCEDIR" > /opt/.tce_dir
chown -R "$USER".staff "$TCEINSTALLED"
i changed it to like pre-version

Code: [Select]

TCEDIR="$MOUNTPOINT"/"$TCE_DIR"

if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
  echo "$MOUNTPOINT" > /etc/sysconfig/tce.mount
 
else
  echo "Request for $TCEDIR ignored. Not supported on Read-Only File System." | tee /tmp/aberr
  TCEDIR=/tmp/tce
fi
echo "$TCEDIR" > /opt/.tce_dir
chown -R "$USER".staff "$TCEINSTALLED"
sync
and use ezremaster to test ,It's ok.

I will narrow the test further to include support as before for vfat.
However, I do not recommend its use as it does not support permissions!
I will issue a 3.7.1 in a few days.

I thought home= and opt= were the problem, not tce=.

However, I do not recommend its use as it does not support permissions!

VFAT is an easy way to get TC on USB stick up and running fast. To store extensions and backup do not need permissions.

I said I will post a 3.7.1. No need for piling on.

No piling, just a confirmation

Piling would be something else.
