What happened?

I am trying to install anaconda on a a mounted network drive which I think is a bit slow, I am running this command: ./conda.exe constructor --prefix /mnt/nasquatch/data/colabs/anaconda3/ --extract-conda-pkgs (I am using this command and not the ./Anaconda3-2022.05-Linux-x86_64.sh -u -b -p /mnt/nasquatch/data/colabs/anaconda3 to avoid extracting the packages each time) and get this error:

./conda.exe constructor --prefix /mnt/nasquatch/data/colabs/anaconda3/ --extract-conda-pkgs

I have permission for the folder, I think it just a bit slow in updating it, from what I see here: https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/fc92ea3353cce71df24fac31ce333ec9f8cf7ba7/conda/gateways/disk/delete.py#L153 there is a max_retries variable, but I do not see that it is used at all. I assume if I would have managed to increase its value it will work, but as I am working with a conda.exe I am not sure how to modify/debug the code.

The problem was that I was missing mfsymlinks option for the CIFS mount options in /etc/fstab I've found the problem (when trying to move an already installed version [on the same path] to the NAS], when I did this I got this error: ln: failed to create symbolic link 'test': Operation not supported Which is much more informative, maybe it could be added, I'll have a look [I'm keeping the ticket open until I'll try to implement better error message]

@orena1, thank you for reporting this. I have moved this issue to the "constructor" repository because this issue is more relevant here.

Please update us with the status as you learn more about it.

If at anytime you feel that nothing else needs to be done, I encourage you to close this issue.

not stale

[orena1]

Thanks, I think my report include the exact problem. I assume it would be good to have a better error log, instead of [69655] Failed to execute script entry_point something about the symlink, right?

[jaimergp]

This was fixed in conda-standalone earlier this year. The exceptions should be more informative now. Thanks!
