- <title>Mounting the proc file system</title>
- <?dbhtml filename="proc.html" dir="chapter06"?>
- <para>In order for certain programs to function properly, the proc file
- system must be available within the chroot environment.
- As a file system can be mounted as many times and in as many places
- as you like, it's not a problem that the proc file system is already
- mounted on your host system -- especially so because proc is a
- virtual file system.</para>
- <para>The proc file system is mounted under
- <filename class="directory">/proc</filename> by running the
- following command:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>mount proc /proc -t proc</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>You will most likely get some warning messages from the mount
- command, such as these:</para>
- <blockquote><screen>warning: can't open /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
- not enough memory</screen></blockquote>
- <para>Ignore these, they're just due to the fact that the system
- isn't installed completely yet and some files are missing. The mount itself
- will be successful and that's all we care about at this point.</para>
