I have setup a new computer with a clean install with kernel26-2.6.29.4-1 does this kernel support unionfs? This is the second system I have had trouble with.

Devtools always complains like this

building union chroot ERROR: No unionfs available. Abandon ship! FAILURE: vsftpd-2.1.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I am using devtools 0.6.4-1 the latest I think

When I use devtools with kernel26 2.6.27.10-1 on an older system devtools works

Anyone got a clue what is wrong?

The same as previously... recent kernels do no support unionfs so you need a git version of makechrootpkg with fixes it to use unionfs.

Can you tell Aaron I found an error with his latest git version of devtools the makechrootpkg devtools-360fcd2f0ecaba3c8bb0e56e7fc6014dacfb3ec7 line 227 on the version I just fetched near the bottom of the script (makechrootpkg) is pkgfile=${chrootdir}/union/pkgdest/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-* ${PKGEXT} should be pkgfile=${chrootdir}/rw/pkgdest/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-* ${PKGEXT} It fails to copy the completed/built package from the chroot to the directory where you have the PKGBUILD file I found it because it farted up my bash script that builds all the packages in the abs/local dir. You drop the package(s) from core/extra to local and let it fly, it will tell you what happened and who did it....completed failed etc. After the build... all with successes the log said....I still had zero *.pkg.tar.gz files :(
