DetailsI use the tool mkosi (https://github.com/systemd/mkosi). It has a feature to re-use a package cache, and does this via `mount --bind /path/to/cache new_root/path/to/package/cache`.
The bind mount is not used now, as pacstrap does a `mount $newroot $newroot --bind`, and this voids the sub-mounts. https://git.archlinux.org/arch-install-scripts.git/tree/common?id=0b8efa0e422a3411cefeafea0d5561c7348aa65c#n82 I'm curious why pacstrap does this "bind mount target directory to itself". Is it necessary? If it's not necessary, I propose to remove it. If it's necessary, I propose to change it into a `mount --rbind`. Additional info: * arch-install-scripts 17-1 Steps to reproduce: # mkdir newroot # mkdir -p newroot/var/cache/pacman/pkg # mount --bind /var/cache/pacman/pkg newroot/var/cache/pacman/pkg # pacstrap -d newroot (you will now see that all packages are downloaded, the bind mounted cache is voided) |

Seems mkosi wants to adapt to pacstrap. I'm still curious, why bind mount to itself? Any part of the system need the target directory to be a mountpoint?
