I found out why it was failing. I recently added two SSD drives in a RAID0 stripped disk configuration. One of the performance tweaks was to move /tmp to RAM, to improve the life of the SSDs. My /etc/fstab for setting up the /tmp folder inadvertently included the noexec,nodev,nosuid options, which cause the rootfs process to fail.

the following entry works for the /etc/fstab for moving the /tmp file to RAM

none    /tmp    tmpfs    defaults,noatime,nodiratime    0    0

I just updated poky and the rest of the meta-layers to the latest commit on their respective master branches, and it built successfully.


Best regards,
