| MetaYan | gnarface: Nope: /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) | 04:13 |
|---|---|---|
| MetaYan | It's a Raspberry PI with a quite fresh Daedalus. | 04:15 |
| MetaYan | Alright, I see the obvious. Can't create symlinks on vfat. | 04:17 |
| gnarface | ah, yea it's because the partition is vfat | 04:17 |
| gnarface | for rpi it has to be vfat though, doesn't it? | 04:18 |
| MetaYan | Maybe it shouldn't even try to create a symlink, because the error message looks worrying. | 04:18 |
| gnarface | it does seem less than ideal | 04:19 |
| gnarface | you could just copy the files manually instead? | 04:19 |
| gnarface | i'm not sure if that'll have bad consequences down the road though | 04:19 |
| MetaYan | I'm not sure about limitations on /boot on rpi, but it does ring a bell. | 04:19 |
| gnarface | i would probably be looking into seeing if rpi can boot from something other than vfat, but i do recall hearing that it wasn't possible | 04:20 |
| MetaYan | Any idea why it's trying to make that symlink? | 04:21 |
| MetaYan | Sorry, hard link. | 04:21 |
| gnarface | instead of just copying and deleting? i assume it's something dumb like they think they're being clever by using a hard link because it's half a second faster than copying and deleting | 04:24 |
| gnarface | you'd have to actually check the script though to see what it's doing | 04:25 |
| gnarface | i'm guessing by the purpose implied by the extension "dpkg-bak" | 04:25 |
| MetaYan | I see now that the next line was "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.18.19", so it seems it carried on with what it should do without apparently making a backup, which is fine by me. | 04:29 |
| MetaYan | That is, building a new initramfs. | 04:30 |
| MetaYan | Oh, there is now initrd.gz and initrd.img-5.18.19 and they're identical. | 04:32 |
| MetaYan | Anyway, found an explanation: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/50456 | 04:39 |
| gnarface | ah, yea that's what i suspected | 04:40 |
