Copying failed when /opt symlinked
My /opt symlinked to /data/opt When running rpi-update, always failed copying vc to /opt Maybe better using rsync -rv -K ?
I don't really see what the issue is. Copying to a symlinked directory should be fine. What error message do you get? What does
ls -ld /opt /data/opt
ls -l /opt /data/opt
show?
Error message is similiar to this: cp: cannot overwrite non-directory ‘./opt’ with directory ‘source/opt/’
ls -ld opt data/opt/ drwxrwxr-x 2 u u 4096 Jun 18 09:59 data/opt/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 u u 9 Jun 18 09:59 opt -> data/opt/
Can you edit /usr/bin/rpi-update and in download_rev change:
curl -L "${REPO_URI}/tarball/${FW_REV}" | tar xzf - -C "${FW_RE$
to
curl -L "${REPO_URI}/tarball/${FW_REV}" | tar xzfh - -C "${FW_RE$
and run:
sudo UPDATE_SELF=0 rpi-update
got this error:
cp: cannot overwrite non-directory //opt' with directory//root/.rpi-firmware/vc/hardfp/opt'
It is for me, just ran sudo rpi-update on a Raspbian 7 install which was just updated. Just renamed /opt temporarily and mkdir /opt and ran again.
@biji, @billchurch can you provide a step by step procedure to reproduce this issue?

@popcornmix This demonstrates the issue:
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ mkdir -p src/foo dest/bar
$ touch src/foo/test
$ cd dest
$ ln -s bar foo
$ cd ..
$ tree
.
├── dest
│ ├── bar
│ └── foo -> bar
└── src
└── foo
└── test
5 directories, 1 file
$ cp -R src/* dest/
cp: cannot overwrite non-directory ‘dest/foo’ with directory ‘src/foo’
$ tree
.
├── dest
│ ├── bar
│ └── foo -> bar
└── src
└── foo
└── test
5 directories, 1 file
$ rsync -rvK src/* dest/

However this is such an edge-case I'm not sure it warrants switching all usages of cp -R to rsync -rK ?
This is still open... Really easy to reproduce, just copy your /opt into a different location and then create a symlink /opt to that location. (I had to move my /opt to a network drive and it took me quite some time to understand why rpi-update didn't work any longer...)
