chroot and co

deepclutch · 02-11-2008, 06:28 PM

chroot used to be able to show the o/p of fdisk -l etc earlier when I mount my ubuntu partition from livecd.now,with latest gutsy,I am not able to see the o/p of fdisk -l.

also,someone can help me regarding proper chroot sequence:
what I do is:

Code:

:~#chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash

Code:

:~#mount  /proc

Is this the way?I used to restore grub via this way.but now,grub or any other uses which wants to read partitions(fdisk ) fails reason been not able to read partition

what should I do?do I need to run udevtrigger in chroot?
also does below command helps?

Code:

mount --bind /dev /chroot/dev

Help please!

I always do it like this

mount -t proc proc /chroot/proc
mount --bind /dev /chroot/dev
chroot /chroot /bin/bash
