RPM gives an cpio error on unwritable files

Description

It would be much nicer if RPM would detect unwritable directories or file system in advance and error out. Shouldn't be too expensive as we stat() everything anyway.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

Done in http://rpm.org/gitweb?p=rpm.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e26a8be7193a90612d800eadba46b417c1d4944, by a simple hack of making read-only filesystems appear as full. Of course it could be extended to specifically complain about read-only fs but me thinks read-only == full is a reasonable and simple mapping with practically no extra code.
