Package: schroot,autofs Severity: normal I have a setup in which the home directory is mounted via NFS with the help of autofs. Because of #622756 and #648459, bind-mounting /home with the rbind option is unfortunately not an option. Until this becomes possible, the chroot needs to start its own automount processes.
Schroot 1.6 features an option to start services. Unfortunately, this feature does not work with the autofs init script. Upon starting a squeeze chroot with autofs installed and enabled in the configuration, I get this error: >> schroot -c squeeze-amd64 I: 70services: Starting automount automount.../usr/sbin/automount already running. I: 70services: . W: Failed to change to directory ‘/home/siretart’: No such file or directory I suspect this is because the autofs init script detects that there is already an automount instance running. Unfortunately, this is the instance outside the chroot. Interestingly, the service option does work with autofs in an ubuntu/quantal chroot, which uses upstart to manage and supervise services, just fine. In order to solve this, I see two possibilities: a) enhance the autofs init script to become chroot-aware. b) extend schroot to start autofs managed mount points by itself, ideally using the host-provided autofs programs so that autofs does not need to be installed into the chroot.
