Hi, I'm afraid I'm not an autofs expert by any means, so I can't give great feedback here. Some questions: - what creates the new autofs map? And what is it based upon? - does this require any autofs-related stuff installed in the chroot, or is it only required on the host? - what is this code actually for? Sorry for being uninformed here, but I'm not sure I understand what the use case is for this. An example would help. - does this make rbind work again? Or is this a separate issue? For the second point, we ideally don't want anything inside, because we're potentially running binaries from a different architecture in the chroot, and we haven't set up the emulation stuff at this point. After being badly bitten by the rbind stuff last year, I am generally quite wary of getting schroot involved in explicitly using autofs, particularly when I don't understand it or its bugs. I'm sure that some more detailed explanation will help here though. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
