qjail sharedfs readonly

[folivora]

Hi,

Since the sharedfs is read-only so it provides security for all the jails. I have had some issues when installing some packages from ports, because of this read-only:

devel/pkgconfig/make install clean

Creating bzip'd tar ball in '/sharedfs/usr/ports/devel/pkgconf/pkgconf-0.9.3.tbz'
tar: Failed to open '/sharedfs/usr/ports/devel/pkgconf/pkgconf-0.9.3.tbz'
pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
*** [do-package] Error code 1

I have used a workaround for these kind of problems, to temporarily mount sharedfs as rw. I do know that this disables security.

Is there some other way to solve this issue?

Normally the solution is to use a make.conf that specifies saving files elsewhere.

WRKDIRPREFIX=		/var/ports
DISTDIR=		/var/ports/distfiles
PACKAGES=		/var/ports/packages
INDEXDIR=		/var/ports
