Re: memory problems in chroot'ed env (Was: chroot bug)


I haven't been able to get to happen when using "chroot /", but here's output
from one of my sessions that did reproduce the "cannot allocate" problem:
nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:~> chroot /view/nyap-tig-du
nyap:jpmpsdev@NYAP:~> ls
.Xdefaults     .bashrc~             .inputrc          aoeu~          proj/
.Xdefaults~    .clearcase_profile@  .inputrc-0        app-defaults/  tmp/
.bash/         .clearcase_profile~  .inputrc~         bin/           view/
.bash_history  .emacs               .saves-670-NYAP~  lisp/
.bashrc        .emacs~              .viminfo          msfe/

Can you give me some hints as to how I can track this down any further, please?

Thanks,

What is the chroot command that you're using "chroot /"?  Since this actually
does nothing at all now it would be surprising if it had any effect on any
commands.

Details in bug reports are always a necessity if you want solutions.
