checked /etc.sysconfig/ntp - NTPD_RUN_CHROOTED="yes"
Went to Yast NTP Config/Security, find "Run in CHroot Jail" is selected (ie
yes). This is presumably default, since I have not changed it. Set it to no
and configured NTP to start at boot.
After re-boot, confirmed ntpd running, no copy of /proc in /var/lib/ntp.
Confirmed /etc.sysconfig/ntp - NTPD_RUN_CHROOTED="no"
So it seems the "expected" behaviour is happening, so I accept it's not a bug.
The question remains of Why ?
I checked with a SUSE 11.3 install, Yast default for NTP config is NOT to run
CHroot, but in 11.4 it is and help says it should be. So what is a humble user
(ie me) to do ?
The appearance of this unexpected virtual file system screwed up my full system
backup (after install), copying a complete copy of /proc to my backup artition
and getting "no space left" errors, which is how I found it.
