Mount Chroot script request

[VastOne]

I'll start this off...

I do this a lot on the build systems

Code Select Expand

sudo mount /dev/sdc8 /mnt

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc

sudo chroot /mnt

What I would like to have is a bash script where all I would need to do is

Code Select Expand

sudo script_name sdxx

Where sdxx is a variable of the partition I want to mount and chroot to...

The chroot line is not mandatory but having something I could run to mount and would be incredibly useful

A second script could be written to handle the umount portion I must do also

Code Select Expand

sudo umount /mnt/dev

sudo umount /mnt/sys

sudo umount /mnt/proc

sudo umount /mnt/

Good luck on your mission...

Save the following code somewhere in your $PATH with the name "vs-chroot".
Give "vs-chroot" execute permission.
run it with fingers crossed.
Let me know what it breaks

Beautiful... worked perfectly and now a part of VSIDO as vchroot in /usr/local/bin

Thank you hakerdefo!  I had been thinking about something like this for a while and not found a hint anywhere of a script

@jedi.. you can use this and then install grub or update-grub for just about anything

WORKS!

PERFECTLY!

I was going to ask for these changes... exactly what I wanted

The only issue I have is a personal one... I do not particularly like xterm but will live with it

Thanks mate!

You should be able to change that to the terminal of choice. Looks like just two lines #53 and #202. Just a quick read through though - don't do a search and replace.

^ that's true... but I let xterm stay and actually kind of like it now and see it as a good security reason to have it as a different one than what you start with.. meaning it is very obvious what you are running chroot in with xterm and I kind of like that now

^That was the reason xterm was used. Just a something different to remind you where you are.
BTW V4 is coming, may be on sunday. Some more safety measures and an option to automagically install-reinstall GRUB in either UEFI or BIOS mode. The script will (hopefully) select the appropriate mode automagically so user doesn't have to worry too much.
Cheers!!!

  Are you God? 

That will be the most perfect script of all time! Your a mind reader if your not God.

Heads up ... I was doing some work with the script and there was a hang on unmounting the drive I was working with .. I have seen these errors in the past using chroot, where it will not umount /sys claiming it is busy

the only option I had was to exit

When I rebooted, the only files on that partition was a blank folder named sys...

I have never seen this before to wipe an entire drive... luckily this was a drive specific for testing things just like this and I was restored in 2 minutes

Hopefully the device busy will be a thing of the past with the new version.
What would you guys like to see in the grub part of the script? Ideas-Suggestions?
