The only time I saw anything like this (trying to mount ext4, in that case I had to rebuild some things) the explanation was indeed in syslog, so please check what that says. The problem is probably your host system - tinycorelinux is based on busybox. I guess any error message in the syslog will show that the configuration of busybox in tinycorelinux doesn't support the --bind option for mount. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
