One suggestion (from the author) is that you might want to check the chroot type. If you have type=plain, you won't get automatic filesystem mounting. If you change to type=directory, then you will get /dev, /dev/pts, /home, /proc, /sys etc. automatically mounted for you (but existing mounts won't be visible). Check out /etc/schroot/mount-defaults and also /etc/schroot/scripts-defaults to see which config files are being used. This doesn't explain why they filesystem appear mounted on the host and yet aren't there when you enter the chroot. This does not make sense, since I use this setup with type=plain and it all works fine. Note that if type=directory, it mounts the filesystem with --bind (not --rbind) so any other sub-mounts will not be visible. To check what's going on here, run schroot to enter the chroot, and then in another shell, check /proc/mounts to see what's getting mounted. Note for type=directory, you will be in /var/lib/schroot/mount/<session-id> *not* your chroot location. Your chroot is rebound under here, which is why the sub-mounts are missing. schroot /should/ be doing its own mounts under here in any circumstances, so this doesn't explain why it's not working, but may help to understand what is going on in some part. I would recommend using type=directory, but type=plain will work if you want to set everything up by hand. Note you can run schroot with -v to get more detailed output about the chroot setup, and (if you want all the detail) you can add --debug=notice to get all the information there is (but this is likely overkill). BTW, if you have any suggestions for documentation improvements, just let me know. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
