Might be a namespace issue. Does adding a "session:" prefix help? It might be defaulting to a "chroot:" prefix for this command, in which case it can't find a session ID since it's not under that prefix. > As a workaround I'm using --all-sessions and grep for the line with > the session ID, but that's a bit cumbersome: > > | $ schroot --location --all-sessions > | /var/lib/schroot/mount/sid-amd64-327bb347-fe31-4c6d-9e36-a90ae70c4fa2 > > This happens with both type=directory and an union-type, as well as > with type=file. I think we can improve this. Historically, this option only existed for compatibility with dchroot. However, the existing behaviour is suboptimal. It only really makes sense for it to work with one chroot at a time since the output makes little sense otherwise. And it only really makes sense for sessions since there might not even be a location for some chroot types (snapshots, block devices, loopback mounts etc.) I'd suggest: - making it work with a mandatory --chroot=$name parameter - defaulting the prefix to session (for the -c arg above) - maybe remove support for working with non-session prefixes entirely. This doesn't work consistently with chroot/source prefixes, but it does work with sessions (both from chroots and source chroots). Due to the behaviour break, I'm reluctant to change it for 1.6.x, but for 1.7.x it's a reasonable break for a new major release. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
