Creating image ... Error: couldn't open file /dev/sdc2 (Read-only file system)

Forum thread started by cebif on Fri, 2010-07-02 10:50

I'm trying to compile/build haiku from R1/alpa2. I have been able to do so from Ubuntu 10.04 but not Haiku.. In the UserBuildConfig file I have this:

# Quick start file for UserBuildConfig. Copy it and uncomment and edit the
# lines you want. See UserBuildConfig.ReadMe for details.

# Optional package OpenSSH needs this variable set
HAIKU_IMAGE_HOST_NAME = "TEST" ;

# Add these optional packages
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages BeZillaBrowser ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Beam ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages BeHappy ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages BePDF ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages NetSurf ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages OpenSSL ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages OpenSSH ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Pe ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Vision ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages WebPositive ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Welcome ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages WonderBrush ;

DefineBuildProfile disk : disk : "/dev/sdc2" ;
DefineBuildProfile vmware : vmware-image ;

switch $(HAIKU_BUILD_PROFILE) {
case "disk" : {
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages Development ;
}

case "vmware" : {
HAIKU_IMAGE_SIZE = 900 ;
}

}

In DriveSetup application the drive/partition I'm trying to build to is: /dev/disk/ata/2/master/1
The drive that I'm building Haiku on is: /dev/disk/ata/0/master/3
Before I started the build command I did in terminal;

chmod o+r /dev/disk/ata/2/master
chmod o+rw /dev/disk/ata/2/master/1

I start the build with:

~/develop/haiku/haiku/generated.x86gcc2> jam -q @disk

When the process gets near the end I get this:

BuildHaikuImage1 /dev/sdc2 

Creating image ...
Error: couldn't open file /dev/sdc2 (Read-only file system)

...failed BuildHaikuImage1 /dev/sdc2 ...

...updated 592 target(s)...

In UserBuildConfig I first tried: DefineBuildProfile disk : disk : "/dev/sda2" ; because that is what gpartd showed it as in linux but that got the same error.
Can someone please help me?

You answered your own question. ;-)

Haiku defines the drives and partitions differently from Linux.

/dev/sdc2 might be:
/dev/disk/ata/2/master/1

Verify this is the correct partition and change it in your UserBuildConfig. Use DriveSetup to get the right partition information.

I edited UserBuildConfig with: /dev/disk/ata/2/master/1, that woks. Thanks for the help.
