[Scratchbox-users] scratchbox FC6 bug?

[Jussi Hakala]

By active Scratchbox I mean Scratchbox which has been started with 
sbox_ctl, which has the bindmounts under user directories in place.

The kernel doesn't prevent you from destroying the contents of the 
bindmounted directories any more that it would prevent you doing rm -rf 
/dev as root.

Luckily, with udev, most of the dev nodes are restored with reboot. And 
things under /proc are naturally restored too (if lost in the first place).

However, before removing a Scratchbox installation, always make sure 
that you stop it before uninstalling. The scripts in Debian packages 
should take care of this automatically but that means you have to have 
the Scratchbox installed from those in the first place.

Regards,

   Jussi
