I am afraid your "/bin/mount --move /proc ${TARGET}/proc" doesn't work, or if it really works then traversing mount tree is broken. I'd suggest you to try these instead of "mount --move" - mount --bind /proc ${TARGET}/proc or - mount -t proc ${TARGET}/proc > Actually, I use two aufs mounts, the root mount is the setup you have=20 > seen with private on top of general client on top of server root.

In your /proc/mounts, I can see /var/run and /var/lock are mounted before aufs-/var. I am afraid these tmpfs are hidden? J. R.
