This is disturbing to me. You didn't point the SANDROOT variable to
/usr/src, did you? That would be not a good thing. I should probably mention
in the wiki something about making it a *new* directory that doesn't already
exist.
I don't see how the script otherwise could wipe out the contents of
/usr/src/. Can you be a bit more specific about what you did initially to
create this symptom?
The only change I made was to point the SANDROOT at /
That explains it. By pointing SANDROOT at /, you were telling it to create
the sandbox over top of itself. That would result in 'already exists'
messages for every file all right, hard linked or copied. Shouldn't have
hurt anything though.
Good thing you didn't tell it to create a new sandbox. The first thing it
does in that case is # rm -rf $SANDROOT - you'd've lost your whole system.
I've gotta put some safeguards in the script, and some better instructions
on the wiki.
That still doesn't explain how /usr/src got wiped out though. You didn't run
it with SANDROOT=/usr/src did you?
