Package: live-build Version: 2.0.12-2 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze Hi live team,
I'm building quite large live systems which I employ in daily production use, so they are BIG (around 4GB). Recently I added the package dwww, which causes the build to fail occasionally. I was able to track down the issue to the dwww.postinst script, which does some index creation - in background (squeeze's dwww.postinst:67-71 to be exact). Depending on the load situation on my system (CPU vs. I/O), the build fails, if the index creation is still running, when "lb_chroot_devpts remove" is invoked by live-build: since the index creation has some open file handles in [...]/chroot/dev/pts, the umount command fails. I think this is a conceptual issue, so I didn't file this bug against dwww but live-build. Currently, I'm circumventing this issue by invoking a "debug shell" just prior to the umount invocation in lb_chroot_devpts in order to manually assert dwww really has finished and the umount would succeed. Like I said: I'm using live-build for production systems, so I only tried this with live-build 2, not 3. Did anything change at that place or would this issue persist in 3? ...just hoping this bug report is justified :-) I'd be glad to provide additional information if needed.
