But there must be a better way.
Standard procedure is
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys

Sounds like a plan. If this does the trick, I'm going to have it tatoo'd in a visible spot on my body... <grin>
Better not have it tatooed, because surely "/mnt" will someday be changed to something else.. and then you'll be lost ;-) The manpage for mount has left me a little confused (as manpages so often do -- never let the programmer write the documentation :-) ). Suppose I've done something like this in my fstab: /dev/hdb1 /var (etc) /dev/hdb2 /var/log (etc) and now I want to mount the entire /var tree under /mnt/var, so the logs will be available as /mnt/var/log. It seems to me that mount -o bind /var /mnt/var will not do the trick (/var/log would not be remounted as /mnt/var/log), rather I should use mount -o rbind /var /mnt/var Yes/no? -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
