On one of my RTP installations I can’t create a folder in /usr/help/product,
it says read only filesystem.
Why is that, and how can I change it?
Thanks

Hi Markus,
See the thread entitled "su - "S"tunted “U"ser” from
qdn.public.qnxrtp.os

Can’t find that thread. I’ve experienced the same problem.

I can only find the last message, the previous ones are gone.
Can you be so kind and just summerize real quick?

Hi Markus,
Following are the comments posted by Thomas from the thread in the
qdn.public.qnxrtp.os newsgroup.

Administration of these items for now is done at the source
package level. All of your filesystem is virtualized by
the package filesystem with the real files living most
probably in /pkgs/[repository|base]/…
If you are looking for more control over user id’s and
group id’s and other associated permissions, then you need
to change the permissions on these files which will then
be reflected in the virtual view of the filesystem.
The rational here is that package repositories are
read-only and designed to be shared by a large number
of users and set up by a system administrator for a
site. On a single machine you are your own system
administrator and serving the files to your own machine.
As a result you need to do your own administration. A
future version of the package filesystem will allow you
to change directory permissions/ownership but just like
files these items will be “spilled” into local copies
seperate from the original packaged versions.
For more information on the package filesystem take a
read through the past articles on QDN (qdn.qnx.com).
We will be putting more of this type information in the
future releases of the system administrator’s guide.
For now you can find the real location of the files
using pkgctl, though updating all the files in your
repository with your site appropriate permissions
would probably be a good idea.

Hi Markus,See the thread entitled "su - "S"tunted “U"ser” from

Thank you Barry.
However, I’m not much further. The message below talks about changing
permissions of /pkgs/base/qnx/os/doc-2.1.2/usr/help/product. However, I
checked these permissions, and they give me write access and I can’t write
there either. Why can I write to /usr/help/product on one RTP installation
and I can’t on another?
I read the docs about the package filesystem, but that didn’ help me much
either.
I simply want to add a custom documentation to the helpviewer. Anybody has a
simple answer?
Can the helpviewer be instructed to look in /usr/help/product for docs and
in additional folders?
Thanks
Markus
