Live Upgrade error file?
pretzel
working great, but I am curious about a strange "lucopy.errors" file.
On one of my systems, the following "lucopy.error" file was generated:
0 blocks
0 blocks
That's it. The entire file. No files identified. Couldn't tell if
there was something that needed to be fixed. I ignored it and
everything went well (luupgrade, luactivate) and seems to be working
perfectly.
Can anyone tell me what those two mysterious lines in the
"lucopy.errors" file from lucreate?
Thank you.

Looks like this file contains a list of potential problems (issues)
that were encountered while populating the boot environment. 0 blocks
sounds reassuring to me.
Bye,

In particular, these comments suggest lucreate just came scross,
maybe, two nonexistant files: «In general, you can ignore warnings about
files that were skipped because they did not exist or could not be
opened. You cannot ignore errors such as directories or files that could
not be created, or file systems running out of disk space.».

I'm not sure why this would happen, but one thing which I imagine might
cause it (and which can be a problem) is lucopy (which runs cpio I
think) coming across something it can't copy, and botching it. A good
example of that is a unix-domain socket, which will get turned into an
empty, ordinary, file. That can be bad.

Somehow, I can't help thinking that this is an ass backwards way of
announcing success!
I'd much rather see something like "Live Upgrade successful: 0 Errors 1
