Not enough disk space in 32-bit chroot [SOLVED]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a 32-bit chroot on my Arch64 system.

I have followed the steps detailed in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system

When I tried to install the fonts, it complained of not enough space on the disk:

pacman -Sy ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-ms-fonts

This is strange, as my disk space is as follows:

df -h #(from my 64-bit system)

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb3              69G  2.7G   63G   5% /
none                 1007M     0 1007M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb6              66G   23G   43G  35% /home
/dev/sda1             150G   32G  118G  22% /mnt/windows

But from the chroot:

df -h

df: cannot read table of mounted file systems

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

Re: Not enough disk space in 32-bit chroot [SOLVED]

Just copy your /etc/mtab into your chroot environment.

It sounds to me like you don't have /proc mounted in your chroot environment. See the first mount command in the start) case of the script listed in your post.

Thanks, Pierre, that did the trick!
