Hello all, Once upon a time I was told that chroot in mint works fine. I decided to try it and on the surface it looks good but when I dig deeper there is issues. Here it is demonstrated. Current kernel, coreutils chroot binary. Create a bootstrap under /root/bootstrap Not much under there, just coreutils, rpm and a few other things. root@bf3:/root>chroot /root/bootstrap /bin/bash bash-2.05a# pwd /e/root/bootstrap bash-2.05a# ls bin etc sbin usr var bash-2.05a# Ok so bash doesn't find anything which means bash is respecting the chroot. We did change directories but pwd can see it is not in a new root. bash-2.05a# ls bin etc sbin usr var bash-2.05a# pwd / bash-2.05a# Ok but we can go to / and the chroot is adhered to. Maybe we can proceed. What is under /var bash-2.05a# ls adm catman log bash-2.05a# Ok so proceed. bash-2.05a# rpm -qa automake-1.11.1-1 info-4.0-2 cpio-2.4.2-3 procps-ng-3.3.2-1 bzip2-1.0.2-1 .... and so on. The rpm database is the one from outside the chroot. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark |
