Hello list,
I can't get pacman to ignore read-only files via the the NoUpgrade and/or the NoExtract config options.
I have several Arch Linux LXC (managed via LXD) containers, with several read-only files mapped into those containers for convenience. For example, to have a single resolv.conf for all containers, I configured the following in LXD:
devices: resolv_conf: path: /etc/resolv.conf readonly: "true" source: /root/containerfiles/resolv.conf type: disk
Now the problem is, when I want to run upgrades in containers, the pacman check for disk space fails with:
error: Partition /etc/resolv.conf is mounted read only
According to man pacman.conf, setting "etc/resolv.conf" in NoUpgrade should *in theory* get around this problem for my understandings, but it somehow doesn't. Also setting both does not work:
NoUpgrade = etc/resolv.conf NoExtract = etc/resolv.conf
Am I missing something out here? Is there any way to accomplish what I want or do I really have to work with a pacman hook here which copies the read only mounted file to the original place after a package upgrade?
Thanks & kind regards,
Marcel Menzel
Following up: Commenting out "CheckSpace" in pacman.conf will lead to the desired behavior. Is this considered worth reporting as a bug in the bugtracker?
