Bug#337279: yaird: /boot != /tmp
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-10
Severity: important
/boot is for "static files of the boot loader" according to the FHS.
yaird is attempting to use it as /tmp, and failing horribly as it runs
out of inodes:
anthony:/etc/yaird# df -i /boot
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/md0 64 36 28 57% /boot
Please create the temporary files where temporary files belong, namely /tmp.
It appears this might just require a several-line change to
/usr/lib/yaird/perl/Pack.pm's sub package ($$$). It might make sense to
go for the atomic move in directory mode, but certainly not in cpio
mode.
[I just changed $template to start with /tmp; going to reboot shortly to
see if it actually works...]
