Description Andrey Rahmatullin 2006-11-24 23:04:43 MSK

If I mount chroot/ as tmpfs, /usr/share/hasher/rmchroot fails when trying to 
run chgrp on chroot/

hasher expects that chroot directory can be deleted.
If chroot directory is mount point, it cannot be deleted so hasher won't work.

Is it crucial to be able to delete chroot directory instead of just cleaning it?

I suggest you to define persistent repo location via $def_repo, and place the rest of workdir on tmpfs.
