Yes, that's probably what happened and you butchered the chroot, because I noticed that all the directories below /var/lib/schroot/mount are hard linked to wherever the chroot is mounted. I remember reading somewhere about someone wiping his/her entire /home (non-chroot!), forgetting it was still mounted. Since then, whenever I do *anything* with any of the chroot directories, all my senses concentrate on everything I do then! :-) > Anyway, using type=directory seems to work well and I haven't had > any more problems.

Did you change anything in your /etc/fstab after you began using type=directory? Thanks a lot for your feedback.
