Hmm. I mount the /proc in my chroot, but without the --bind
Which isn't a very good idea. Binding mounts are the only clean way to mount something multiple times in different places.
From what I understand, that's not true of the "sysfs" and "proc" (and a few other) virtual file systems. They can be mounted as many times as needed without the use of --bind.
It would sort of make sense, as /proc is read-only, right?
Not at all, but reads/writes to "files" in proc are handled not by reading/writing the bits from/to some medium, but rather receiving/presenting them from/to specific kernel functions. In particular, there are still a number of tunable parameters under /proc/sys, IIRC. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
