As mkfs.ext{2,3,4} is used in conjunction with pseudo it can execute system's mkfs instead of oe-core's. This can be fixed by running 'bitbake e2fsprogs-native' before 'wic create' $ wic create generic-pc -e test-image gives the following error: Debug: exec_cmd: output for export PATH=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/sbin:/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/sbin:/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:$PATH;export PSEUDO_PREFIX=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr;export PSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs/../pseudo;export PSEUDO_PASSWD=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs;export PSEUDO_NOSYMLINKEXP=1;/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pseudo mkfs.ext4 -F -i 8192 /var/tmp/wic/build/rootfs_data.ext4 -d /tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs (rc = 1): mkfs.ext4: invalid option -- 'd' Usage: mkfs.ext4 [-c|-l filename] [-b block-size] [-C cluster-size] [-i bytes-per-inode] [-I inode-size] [-J journal-options] [-G flex-group-size] [-N number-of-inodes] [-m reserved-blocks-percentage] [-o creator-os] [-g blocks-per-group] [-L volume-label] [-M last-mounted-directory] [-O feature[,...]] [-r fs-revision] [-E extended-option[,...]] [-t fs-type] [-T usage-type ] [-U UUID] [-jnqvDFKSV] device [blocks-count] Warning: WARNING: export PATH=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/sbin:/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/sbin:/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:$PATH;export PSEUDO_PREFIX=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr;export PSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs/../pseudo;export PSEUDO_PASSWD=/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs;export PSEUDO_NOSYMLINKEXP=1;/tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pseudo mkfs.ext4 -F -i 8192 /var/tmp/wic/build/rootfs_data.ext4 -d /tmp/OE/tmp-eglibc/work/openvox-oe-linux/test-image/1.0-r0/rootfs returned '1' instead of 0 43749 1 joaohf 2014-06-03 23:39:59 +0000 Hi, Not only e2fsprogs-native but syslinux-native, syslinux, and mtools-native must be baked before 'wic create'. If you are using bootimg-pcbios or bootimg-efi. As wic is a tool that could be used without OE, maybe it's necessary implements a environment check? or if wic is running inside OE environment it should bake the needed tools, without user requests? 50090 2 eduard.bartosh 2015-04-05 10:33:39 +0000 Currently wic can't be used without oe build system as it's tightly coupled with tools and build artifacts produced by it. However, there is a feature request to detach wic from the build system: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6558 I like the idea of environment check and two working modes of wic, but I think it would be better if we take step by step approach. As a first step I'd rather make sure wic is using only native tools. This would allow us to fully understand wic runtime dependencies and make wic more stable, i.e. independent of host environment. 50105 3 eduard.bartosh 2015-04-07 08:16:19 +0000 This patch partly fixes the issue as wic will not be able to find host tools anymore: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-April/103397.html I'm going to add requirements to bake parted-native, syslinux, e2fsprogs and mtools to the documentation and close this issue. Please, speak up if you think something else should be done. 50299 4 eduard.bartosh 2015-04-14 14:36:48 +0000 My patch got accepted: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=024514037ddcc92de4f685f85bb916b2815fb47e So, I think this issue is fixed. I'm going to update documentation accordingly. 55125 5 daniel.alexandrux.istrate 2015-10-09 15:18:49 +0000 Verified on master: eac61f37e36099f74485dab398b57f3812826d17 Steps to verify: 1. bitbake core-image-minimal syslinux dosfstools-native mtools-native syslinux-native parted-native 2. bitbake -c clean e2fsprogs-native 3.

I'll modify it that it supports pseudo. 55557 7 eduard.bartosh 2015-10-21 13:16:12 +0000 sent for review: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-October/111822.html 56742 8 eduard.bartosh 2015-11-24 13:56:40 +0000 Updated the patch and sent for review again: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-November/113271.html as previous was forgotten and doesn't apply anymore. 56998 9 eduard.bartosh 2015-12-03 15:01:32 +0000 Patch has been merged upstream: http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=04bab58809c63c9114feb0aadc9b6115be10fcc4
