How to mount /proc and /dev and in chroot on
Linux
I'm using a backtrack Linux to recover a broken Ubuntu Linux, to
fix this disastrous situation I'm using the Ubuntu Linux through
chroot after mounting my
/dev/sda1, where my Linux
resides with:
linux-recovery:~# mkdir /mnt/test1
linux-recovery:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test1
linux-recovery:~# chroot /mnt/test1
ubuntu:~#
I consequently needed to mount up the
/proc and
/dev
partition inside the chroot environment.
Here is how I did it:
ubuntu:~# mount /proc
ubuntu:~# mount -a
Next I switched on on a different virtual console in the backtrack
and to mount /dev issued the commands:
linux-recovery:~# mount --bind /dev
/mnt/test1/dev
Now using I can use properly
apt-get to fix up the whole
mess ...
