Very interesting idea - after all, it's "just" a chroot jail... I'm not aware of any such attempts being made before, and from top of my head, I can't give any drawbacks (except for that ED easychroot scripts might need modifications, to allow using regular directory, instead of image file or partition).

Maybe other people know something that I might have overlooked?
