Hi I had trouble in chapter 6.22 Coreutils - 8.10 installation process of LFS 6.8 .

After executing the following command :

su-tools nobody -s /bin/bash -c "make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check"

I get output with some error :

======================================
1 of 392 tests failed
(56 tests were not run)
See tests/test-suite.log
Please report to bug-coreut...@gnu.org
======================================
make[4]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/sources/coreutils-8.10/tests'
make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/sources/coreutils-8.10/tests'
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/coreutils-8.10/tests'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/coreutils-8.10'
make: *** [check] Error 2



Is it ok to ignore this errors??

Hi,

The above doesn't tell us anything, it only shows that one test failed and not which one and what the error is.

You need to check the file mentioned in the error message (See tests/test-suite.log) to get relevant information.

Hope this helps.

It seems like it is unable to read or detect the mounted filesystem but according to fdisk -l ...it is a Linux filesystem ..correct me if i am wrong ??

Thankx for your help again greatly appreciated ...

Hi,
This is a bit strange. If you look at the command you notice that it is not looking for the ext3 FS (which is used/suggested by LFS).

Although I'm not 100% sure and I've never seen this test error before, I'm guessing it is save to continue with the build. I do assume that the FS used is ext3 (This chapter).

If you want more certainty, I would suggest you post this issue on the lfs mailinglist (Support for LFS Projects).

Hope this helps.

Hey sorry for the late reply ... i was away for awhile ..umm i looked around about the issue on mailing list and came across a similar problem and they recommend to ignore it .. Didn't face any problems yet ..but ummm i really stuck at chapter topics 7.9.3 to 7.9.3.7 . Am i suppose to do something in 7.9.3.2 and 7.9.3.3 ??? I am really confused here :$ Help me out if you can ...

Thankx

Hi,
Short answer: No.

It is important information, it describes how devices are handled.
