(8.1.z) installation-manager update fails with symbolic link

XMLWordPrintable

      Customer, in domain mode, is trying to update from EAP 8.0.7 to 8.0.8 in an environment using symbolic link across different file systems (only for the /domain folder) and is receiving the following error while trying to update via the jboss-cli method:

       

      installer update --host=master --maven-repo-files=/app/mid/patches/copy/jboss-eap-8.0.8-runtime-maven-repository.zip --confirm shutdown --host=master --perform-installation
Caused by: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /app/mid/jboss/.update.old/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties -> /app/mid/jboss/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties: Invalid cross-device link

      I replicated customer's environment (with symbolic link for domain folder in a different file system) with the following steps:

      1) I copied the content of the domain folder inside the target symlink folder:

      cp -a /home/mcolonne/work/cases/04228266/jboss-eap-8.0/domain/* /run/media/mcolonne/ESD-USB/the_real_domain_dir/

      2) I deleted the 'real' domain folder:

      rm -rf /home/mcolonne/work/cases/04228266/jboss-eap-8.0/domain/

      3) I created the symlink:

      ln -s /run/media/mcolonne/ESD-USB/the_real_domain_dir /home/mcolonne/work/cases/04228266/jboss-eap-8.0/domain/
      mcolonne@mcolonne-thinkpadp1gen7:~/work/cases/04228266/jboss-eap-8.0$ ls -l

      Once the environment has been replicated, I attempted the following updates with the resulting outcomes:
      1) 8.0.0 -> 8.0.4 via the 8.0.4 standalone jboss-eap-installation-manager -> update goes through
      2) 8.0.4 -> 8.0.7 via the 8.0.4 standalone jboss-eap-installation-manager -> update goes through
      3) 8.0.7 -> 8.0.8 via the 8.0.7/8.0.8 standalone jboss-eap-installation-manager -> update DOES NOT goes through -> issued same exact customer's error
      4) 8.0.7 -> 8.0.8 via the 8.0.4 standalone jboss-eap-installation-manager -> update goes through

      Here, an example of the update command used:

      ./jboss-eap-installation-manager.sh update perform --offline --repositories local-mrrc::file:/home/mcolonne/work/eap/jboss-eap-8.0.4-runtime-maven-repository/jboss-eap-8.0.4.GA-runtime-maven-repository/maven-repository --dir=/home/mcolonne/work/cases/04228266/jboss-eap-8.0

      There have been some changes I haven't found regarding that after 8.0.4 installation-manager version? Or is it unexpected behaviour?
