Public bug reported:
I got a failure while performing a clean install with the Hardy Alpha 2
AMD64 Alternate Install CD.
I set up RAID 0 on a SATA drive (other drives not added yet), then set
up LVM on md0, then created swap, root (75G), and home (~700G)
partitions. Root and home were formatted with XFS.
Although the Gutsy installer would allow this to work (though I found
other serious issues with XFS in Gutsy in this configuration, see Bug
#175214), the new Hardy installer now fails while attempting to
bootstrap base:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 317:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /target/test-dev-null/: No
such device or address
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: E: NOEXEC
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: EF: Cannot install into target /target
mounted with noexec or nodev
Checked mount and saw
/dev/mapper/mainvg-rootlv on /target type xfs (rw,ikeep,noquota)
So, XFS is not mounted noexec or nodev, but the test is nonetheless
failing. I wonder if this is a more mundane installer regression, or if
there's some new issue with XFS and special files. I'm not sure how
common a choice XFS is for a root filesystem? Then again, there is no
documentation to that effect, and no warnings in the installer one way
or another.
