Hi, I'm trying to use subprocess.Popen() to do a Linux chroot to a mount point passed in as a parameter to the following function:
def getInstalledKernelVersion(mountPoint): linuxFsRoot = mountPoint + "/root" print "type of linuxFsRoot is %s" % type(linuxFsRoot) installedKernelVersionResult = subprocess.Popen(['chroot',linuxFsRoot,'rpm','-q','kernel-xen']) return installedKernelVersionResult and it dies with the following: type of linuxFsRoot is <type 'str'> chroot: cannot change root directory to /storage/mounts/ mnt_3786314034939740895.mnt/root: No such file or directory When I explicitly set linuxFsRoot = "/storage/mounts/ mnt_3786314034939740895.mnt/root", it works fine. I also tried this to concatenate the mountpoint + /root, and it failed in the same way: linuxFsRoot = ("%s/root") % mountPoint Anyone know what might be happening here?
