Description
System is windows 7 Enterprise with Oracle VM Virtualbox running RHEL6
Mondo is installed on RHEL6.
I tried to generate the iso file on the shared directory.
$ mondoarchive -Oi -d /media/sf_VM_partage -E '/media/sf_VM_partage' -p hostname-date +%Y-%m-%d
mondoarchive.log and mindi.log show : cp: cannot create special file `/media/sf_VM_partage/mondo.tmp.YoepwC/bigdir/dev/boot_device': Operation not permitted FATAL ERROR. Unable to create /dev/boot_device on ramdisk

I'm changing this to an enhancement request in order to test that the temp dir in on a valid FS from a Linux perspective.

With 3.2.0 on with a similar -d target dir another report gives: FATAL ERROR. Cannot dd blank file
Corresponding to mindi: dd if=/dev/zero of=$imagefile bs=1k count=$BOOT_SIZE
It should be under MINDI_CACHE which is then in that case under /tmp so it should work, except if /tmp has some restrictions.

The temp dir cannot be placed on a non Unix like FS. In your case you have to use -T to dispatch these files locally.
