I've been experimenting with chroot to switch to an alternate root partition and "do stuff" without actually having to reboot to that alternate OS. I see that none of the special filesystems seem to be created as part of the ordinary chroot command, yet things like the bind-chroot rpm does manage to create a more complete environment for named to run in (with populated /dev and /proc and wot-not). Is there a handy tool somewhere to duplicate all the special filesystems in a chroot environment? Or should I just look at bind-chroot in more detail and steal what it does?
