uber -j fails with "Invalid cross-device link"

[wagjo]

My .m2 directory is on another device. When running boot pom uber -j, it fails with "Invalid cross-device link".

Workaround is to place .m2 repo in the same device as .boot

Note: BOOT_LOCAL_REPO controls .m2 cache location.

And BOOT_HOME the location of .boot directory, either could be changed to reside on the same disk as the other.

Can we close this or is there something that should be done?

[wagjo]

Please do not close this as the bug is still present. AFAIK you can fix this issue by not using hard links in your .boot cache.

[wagjo]

... or you can explicitly say in the documentation that both .boot and .m2 must reside in the same physical device.

Oh, sorry about that. I was looking at the nio APIs to detect this condition, I think it can be done.
