Not necessary -- once the install script is fixed to actually follow the symlink it works on tmpfs home too. > cd /sys/doc > ls | grep 8 > 8 > cd 8 > Can't cd 8: '8' file does not exist > cd 8½ > Can't cd 8½: '8½' file does not exist > cd 8? > ls 8?.ms > 8�.ms > touch 9½ > ls 9½ > 9½ > > That's an interesting problem. I wonder if it is some artifact of the > use of squashfs. The sam and venti directories are fine. The sam and venti directories don't have any non-ascii utf-8. Also, from the host: ls sys/doc/?½.ms 8½.ms ls sys/doc/??½.ms 9ý.ms (The file I touched from 9vx) So 9vx is misreading utf-8 from the host, and unsurprisingly, it tacks extra bits on when writing. This happens on a tmpfs home and on a persistent ext2 home (I actually didn't test how the HOST interprets it on ext2 because I got rid of my persistent home.) >>sed '43 s/H/L/' Tvx > > Sorry, you lost me. change /usr/local/bin/Tvx:43 to cp -LRp /usr/local/Tvx-root/* ${P9} On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 3:53 PM, erik quanstrom <quans...@quanstro.net> wrote: >perhaps you could track down the source of the cp flags and change them. The 'p' flag preserves the dates, although the directories that were separated (/sys/src and /sys/doc) were touched anyway by the installer. > They're not going away I bet, but what are you talking about here? No, I want symlinks to go away from the universe. (Bind them in a bag and drown them in the ocean)
