Subject: output file cannot be in the UBIFS root directory check is not working quite well
Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 23:30:29 +0400 (MSK) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.02.1210032322590.1375@bas> (raw)
Hi,
Consider the following sequence of commands:
cd ~
mkdir -p /tmp/wtf/wtf1
chmod u-r /tmp/wtf
mkfs.ubifs -m 4096 -e 516096 -c 4095 -d /tmp/wtf/wtf1 -o mytest.img
Error: output file cannot be in the UBIFS root directory
mytest.img is not inside /tmp/wtf/wtf1, but mkfs.ubifs fails because
/tmp/wtf is not readable.
It seems that implementation of in_path(..) in mkfs.ubifs.c is not quite
correct to handle this type of situations.
If you are wondering, my /home is not readable, and this prevents me from
building any ubifs image inside of /home/user.
Thanks in advance.
