Package: schroot Version: 0.2.10-1 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
The session cleanup in 10mount ignores failures of umount invocations and cleanup continues. In the case of file chroots with a /home bind mount that failed to umount, the rm -rf in 05file blindly descends into the system /home with obvious unpretty results. The bind mount may fail to umount whenever something gets mounted under the bind. In my case I was foolishly trying to rbind instead of bind /home in 10mount because my $HOME is a separate mount, and I wanted to have it available in the chroot. Apart from making a failed umount abort the session cleanup, I see as another possible solution to rm -rf only a bind mount of the chroot to be sure there are no sub mounts, then umount this and only rmdir the actual chroot. This would fail harmlessly if umounts failed (results only in a leftover session to be manually cleaned up). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages schroot depends on: ii libboost-prog 1.33.1-4 program options library for C++ ii libc6 2.3.6-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-4 GCC support library ii liblockdev1 1.0.3-1 Run-time shared library for lockin ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libuuid1 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.04.09-2 universally unique id library schroot recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
