[Bug 769595] Re: Encrypted home not mountable under chroot

Please adjust your schroot fstab to bind mount your actual home
directory instead of the /home folder:

  /home/tyhicks                   /home/tyhicks   none    rw,bind 0
0

Marking the ecryptfs-utils task as invalid as this is a schroot
configuration issue and not an eCryptfs bug.

Title:
  Encrypted home not mountable under chroot

Status in “dchroot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “schroot” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

  An schroot has the following fstab defined:

  /proc		/proc		none    rw,rbind        0       0
  /sys		/sys		none    rw,rbind        0       0
  /dev            /dev            none    rw,rbind        0       0
  /home		/home		none	rw,bind		0	0
  /tmp		/tmp		none	rw,bind		0	0

  However, the encrypted home directory is not mounted properly within
  the chroot, nor will ecryptfs allow the private directory to be
  mounted manually from within the chroot:

  $ schroot
  W: Failed to change to directory ‘/home/codegnome’: No such file or directory
  W: Falling back to directory ‘/’
  I have no name!:/$ ecryptfs-mount-private
  ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly

  Expected behavior is that the chroot will automatically mount a
  currently-mounted private directory. Failing that, it should allow the
  user to mount the private home directory from within the chroot.
