Hey. I've setup a process to run chroot with a very minimal "fake" filesystem. I need the program to be able to access /proc b/c it gathers some statistics on itself. I assume I could throw "mount" in the environment and then mount it manually, but is there any other way to do it so I wouldn't have to leave mount in there? I'm sure a symlink wouldn't work, but how about a hard link? According to the man page "Hard links may not normally refer to directories", so I'm not quite sure what the catch is . Anyways, any tips would be appreciated!
Distribution: RH 6.2, Gen2, Knoppix,arch, bodhi, studio, suse, mint

Rep:
--bind is for mount an already mounted filesystem to
another mount point. i got it from here. i can't find
it in my man page either, but i know i've read about
it somewhere. i just can't find it.
