Description
When a -B / --bind
option is used with singularity build
, the bind mount target must be present in the image before the %post
step executes.
This makes it a little awkward to use -B
with singularity build
, as generally a well-known existing path must be used (e.g. /mnt
), or directories must be created in the rootfs via a %setup
block.
It's not entirely straightforward to implement this sensibly.
- Needs to work across all runtime modes... setuid, kernel overlay / fuse overlay, etc.
- Should the directory be removed after
%post
if it didn't exist before%post
. - What happens if we bind a directory, but it is also created in
%post
... or similar?
