2120.0. "mksb failed to create my first ever sandbox" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Fri Feb 23 1996 17:36

Subj: 	mksb failed to create my first ever sandbox
as root on my workstation "music", I successfully did: 	

odemount v32csupportos

Then I created a directory /usr/sb and chmod'd it to 0777.

As myself (not root) I did:
mksb -back v32supportos -dir /usr/sb vfs

Here are the error messages:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
User rc file, /home/kucherov/.sandboxrc, does not exist; will create it.
cannot find include file ../link/rc_files/shared.sharedsandbox
>> FATAL ERROR in workon:
>> No Access to Backing Tree Through link dir:/share/secret/build/submits.dsk2/v32supportos/rc_files/../link

>> WARNING in mksb:

>> FATAL ERROR in mksb:
   Cannot create set: vfs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in the ODE class this past Monday.
My understanding was that mounting a normal type of pool
would automatically mount other pools necessary.
What did I do wrong, and how do I get it to work?

	Thanks,

The odemount should have mounted the correct pools.  I forgot to
mention in the class that you need to be in group staff (=10); please
ensure that this is the case.

I don't know where you got the mode 777 for your sandbox, but you should
leave this as normal (755), for security's sake, owned by you.

If you're in group staff=10 (type 'id' to check) you can check your
mounts as follows:

cd /usr/sde/osf1/build/v32csupportos
ls link/    ... this should list the parent directory's contents,
in the ptlite baselevel tree.

My mistake was saying "v32supportos" (which doesn't work at all)
rather than saying "v32csupportos" (which seems to work ok).

Sergei, it looks like there's a little confusion here:

Perhaps you had v32csupportos odemounted and not v32supportos, but both
should and do work fine, if you have the correct trees mounted.  These
represent different releases; be sure you understand what release
you're patching:

    v32supportos,x  = V3.2 and V3.2A (gold minor)
    v32bsupportos,x = V3.2B (hardware 4)
    v32csupportos,x = V3.2C (ptlite)

These are all distinct releases, and have distinct support environments.
