I am following https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase
This:
pkg install -g 'FreeBSD-*'
fails with this:
[2/800] Extracting FreeBSD-runtime-12.1_3:?? 4%
pkg: Fail to create hardlink:
/root/.pkgtemp..cshrc.v5sxGCRu3GlP:Cross-device link

[2/800] Extracting FreeBSD-runtime-12.1_3: 100%
/root is in a different ZFS dataset. It works fine if it's not. Why pkg
is using /root/.pkgtemp instead of /tmp or /var/tmp? It doesn't matter
from where I run the command, looks like the path is hardcoded.
The failure is caused by the fact that /.cshrc and /root/.cshrc
are hardlinked to each other. A hardlink can not cross a
ZFS dataset or a ufs mount point.
Ah right.
Can I workaround with some option to pkg?
I doubt that.
Someone (tm) should add support for this in pkg.
An option to convert hardlinks to symlinks or duplicate files could be done.
For the person with this problem there are ways to work around it
by not making /root a seperate dataset, create /toor data set,
set toor login home to /toor, use that for what ever it is that
made you feel you needed to have /root as its own data set.
Did you mean - set root login home to /toor? Or create a new toor user?
I think the same will be with .profile which also looks like it's
hardlinked.
Wouldn't pkg already have to handle this for normal port packages
somehow? Or they never create hardlinks? Is it worth raising bug/feature
in bugzilla for pkg?
