#440 Issue closed: rear mkrescue fails on new system¶
Labels: bug, fixed / solved / done
BenGig opened issue at 2014-07-16 13:08:¶
Hi
95_copy_result_files.sh wants to copy files to /var/lib/rear/output which does not exists on a new system. Consequently the job fails. I searched the issues but did not found anything, is this by design to not create the directory, or just went unnoticed until now?
Regards
Ben

@BenGig it works for me. If you remove rear (via rpm -e rear) and
re-install could you verify if the directory /var/lib/rear content?
BenGig commented at 2014-08-04 09:51:¶
Sorry about the vacation related delay.
After rpm -e rear: /var/lib/rear remained with the three subdirs output, layout and recovery. I then cleaned up with rm -rf /var/lib/rear.
Reinstalled with yum install rear, the installation created /var/lib/rear as an empty directory.
I found that configuring OUTPUT=ISO does indeed creates all the directories necessary. But: the option OUTPUT=PXE is triggering the problem, I could verify it on RHEL6 and on Fedora 20.
