Just a quick note that the symptoms described in this thread https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/buildsys/2012-June/003902.html:
$ mock --shell INFO: mock.py version 1.1.18 starting... State Changed: init plugins INFO: selinux disabled State Changed: start State Changed: lock buildroot State Changed: shell bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
... are consistent with a mock root on a filesystem mounted "nodev". Permissions and SELinux aside, you'll suffer EACCES all day long until the fs is remounted "dev".
