OK, got around the ownership preservation thing but...
I have documented what I'm trying to do at http://wiki.maemo.org/User_talk:Tomj#Prepare_backup,
<plea for help deleted as I have realised how I was being a numpty a bottle of beer and half a bottle of wine at dinner, followed by a shot of tequilla and some 40 year old single malt have evidently helped me reach the Ballmer peak>

Quick check of understanding: editing /sbin/qchroot as so:
should be sufficient for Easy Debian to be able to access MyDocs, but not the rest of maemo's /home, shouldn't it?
Last edited by TomJ; 2014-06-23 at 07:33.
Code:
echo .... >/dev/stderr #mount -o bind /home/user "$CHROOT/home/user" # Do it the Fremantle way. #mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 "$CHROOT/home" mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 "$CHROOT/home/user/MyDocs"
should be sufficient for Easy Debian to be able to access MyDocs, but not the rest of maemo's /home, shouldn't it?

Basically yes, although my version is even simpler (and therefore probably less elegant):I don't remember the details but when I had some problems with lingering mounts I decided to use steamroller tactics.Code:pp900-a:/sbin# diff closechroot closechroot.old --- closechroot +++ closechroot.old @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ fi #Abort if chroot not mounted. -if [ "$IMGFILE" != "none" ] && [ ! -f "$CHROOT/var/lock/qmount-complete" ] ; then +if [ ! -f "$CHROOT/var/lock/qmount-complete" ] ; then echo "Nothing to do; chroot not mounted!" - exit 1 + #exit 1 fi
All you have to do is make sure everything that was mounted gets unmounted afterwards.
Do you want to do it yourself as at the moment you're the actual Easy Debian maintainer?

Thanks for your willingness to host images, qole - such stability means a lot in troubles times of dissapearing hosts. I hope you can expect an squeeze-estel-final from me in few days
/Estel
I'm waiting your image with impatience. Browsing (and music too) is what I do with ED.
By the way, how to delete setting files when, for example, I switch images?
I noticed that when I change the images, the settings in ED from previous image was still here (panel for example). It could be useful because i'm obliged to install/uninstall ED each time I switch to a new image (in order to have a clean install)
Thanks in advance.

sulu: Your fix is partially in extras-devel ( without the commented out #exit 1)
I noticed a problem, though, that /var/lock/qmount-complete isn't created. Therefore, closechroot thinks there've been no mounts

Sorry for the late reply!
btw:
I have no ambitions of becoming a true ED maintainer. I only have very rudimentary knowledge of the packages and no intentions to change that.
Please feel free to apply any changes you like!
