LFS 7.2 chapter 2.3
 

my filesystem wasn't host compliant so I decided to build it as in the chapter

source is on a usb 4gb fat32

mounted the usb to /mnt/myusb

in as root

can create files delete move copy no errors

when I begin to unpack this is the error I get on every file inside the tar is

tar -xzvf e2fsprogs-1.42.7.tar.gz can not change ownership to uid 15806, gid 15806: Operation not permitted.

pointers to if this is a critical error that keeps me from proceeding I guessing so since the compile is erroring out but first I'd thought I'd review this error to find the solution

sorry I mispoke my host wasn't non compliant my host's file system was.

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-standard

according to the check in the chapter it had some extra options which made it non compliant

which is why I followed the instructions to recompile when I hit the error I posted above

Fat32 doesn't support chown, I'd use an ext? filesystem on that thumbdrive.

ahh that explains it I'll have to find something my windows box can see to toss the files onto it.
