adding a 386 chroot in /home

[Alexandru Cabuz <alexcabuz@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Is there any particular reason why in the AMD64 Debian howto the i386
chroot is setup in /var/chroot/sid-ia32 or can it be anywhere?

I am asking because on my system /var is its own partition, and is not
big enough to house a i386 system. Same thing for the /, /tmp and /usr
filesystems. My big partition is the /home partition.

Would there be any problem putting my chroot in /home/sid-ia32?
Because then, in the chroot, I would make /home point to /home in the
amd64 system, which would contain the chroot, so the filesystem would
be like the snake swallowing its own tail. Would it not freak out, or
in any case, protest at this state of affairs (the filesystem I mean)?

Thanks.

Alex.
