It seems like the cp command failed - but it really, really shouldn't, and I have no idea why it did. Does anybody have a clue?
@aceflor: do you keep getting this error every time? As said, you can re-install the jailbreak as many times as you want. Maybe the failure just miraculously goes away on the second attempt...  |
Two possibilities there -
Is the copy being made to a partition with limited space? (since you don't report the error return code, we can't say if it is -ENOSPC or not).
The "log" command might have failed -
Similar types of problems (-ENOSPC) plus those associated with giving syslog-ng a chance to run enough to keep up with the messages.
Note: Complicated shell expressions, any part of which might fail, can be hell to debug.
It would be better to capture the return code(s) and then either continue or report them.
