I've been trying to (r)bind mount /dev from fstab and it is failing for some reason that I can't figure out. I have tried to mount it on demand, only when accessed, since the chroot where I need it is not used very often, to try and achieve that I've tried the following line in fstab: /dev /path/to/chroot/dev none rbind,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0 This didn't work, trying 'ls /path/to/chroot/dev' seems to hang forever and the output from journalctl says: systemd[1]: Job dev.device/start timed out. systemd[1]: Job extra-chroot-centos-dev.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'. systemd[1]: Job dev.device/start failed with result 'timeout'. I have also tried mounting it on boot using: /dev /path/to/chroot/dev none rbind 0 0 Which also doesn't work and makes the boot process stop, the machine is still responsive to ctrl-alt-del and reboots cleanly but there is no indication of why it stops. Bind mounting /proc and /sys when accessed works fine, also mounting manually with 'mount --rbind /dev /path/to/chroot/dev' works just fine, I am out of ideas and google doesn't know either, any tips or pointers are welcome. -- Mauro Santos
