Steinar, many thanks for the tip! My fstab was and is correct according to the Debian GNU/Linux AMD64 HOW-TO: <http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html> This is my proc entry for my chroot environment: proc /ia32/proc proc defaults 0 0 I have tracked down the error to initscripts. This is how /etc/init.d/mountall.sh parses fstab: do_start() { # # Mount local file systems in /etc/fstab. # if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ] then log_action_begin_msg "Mounting local filesystems" mount -a -t proc >/dev/null 2>&1 # Ignore error message due to /proc already being mounted ES_TO_REPORT=$? mount -a -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs ES=$? ES_TO_REPORT=$(($ES_TO_REPORT | $ES)) if [ 0 = "$ES_TO_REPORT" ] then log_action_end_msg 0 else log_action_end_msg 1 "code $ES_TO_REPORT" fi else log_action_msg "Will now mount local filesystems" mount -a -t proc >/dev/null 2>&1 # Ignore error message due to /proc already being mounted ES=$? [ 0 = "$ES" ] || log_failure_msg "Mounting proc filesystems failed with error code ${ES}." mount -a -v -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs ES=$? if [ 0 = "$ES" ] then log_success_msg "Done mounting local filesystems." else log_failure_msg "Mounting local filesystems failed with error code ${ES}." fi fi One can see that mountall.sh silently ignores all explicit fstab entries to mount any proc filesystem (via the noproc directive)! This is the most similar bug report: "mountall.sh: additional proc mountpoints (for chroots) are not mounted" <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359651> Maybe this bug report could be merged with 359651?
