[gentoo-user] touch Error: Function not implemented

[gentoo-user] touch Error: Function not implemented

[Ryan Viljoen]

Hey all,

I recently (yesterday) completed an emerge sync and then emerge world.
I rebooted my PC today and my system failed to come up. It moaned
about udev or such...

After some inspection, it seems I have an error with touch. I cant
emerge anything, it does not get past unpacking the source. The
following error is the same for all packages:

Quote:
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking udev-089.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/udev-089/work
touch: setting times of `/var/tmp/portage/udev-089/.unpacked':
Function not implemented

!!! ERROR: sys-fs/udev-089 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1526: Called dyn_unpack
ebuild.sh, line 698: Called die

!!! IO Failure -- Failed 'touch .unpacked' in /var/tmp/portage/udev-089
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call
stack if relevant.

wiig / #


Any idea as to the cause? Solution?

I guess you used a livecd to boot into your computer, and then chrooted
into your existing environment? 

Problem with the newest udev is that you need a kernel 2.6.15 or
newer. And the reason why touch is complaining, is because you forgot to
mount proc when you chrooted. 

If you're outside chroot: mount proc -t proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
If you're inside chroot: mount proc -t proc /proc

Then you're able to compile a new kernel :)
