tc 3.7 not supported on Read-Only File System? (fat32)
« on: June 16, 2011, 05:33:26 AM »
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.
tiny core is very good!

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=.

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

No piling, just a confirmation :)

Piling would be something else.
