OpenStack Compute (nova)

cp: cannot stat `truncate': No such file or directory

Asked by janson

following this url:
http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaInstall/CentOSNotes;

when I do the command as follows:

---Last but not least you will need truncate which for some reason is not included with Centos 5 coreutils. To install execute following:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.9.tar.gz
tar -zxvf coreutils-8.9.tar.gz
cd coreutils-8.9
./configure
make
sudo cp truncate /usr/bin/

It shows an error like this:
[root@localhost coreutils-8.9]# cp truncate /usr/bin/
cp: cannot stat `truncate': No such file or directory

why ? hoping for friendly help~

Hmm.. I think it's easier to grep a RPM package from CentOS 6 and to extract the missing binary. I'm using this binary at the moment on a SLES11 SP1 system and it's working fine. /usr/bin/truncate is also not included in the SLES11 coreutils package :(
