Comment 0 for bug 1766335

When trying to debug boot issues of a GCE instance I mounted a snapshot of it's boot disk on a running instance and tried to run `sudo chroot /home/ubuntu/failedbootdebug/ cloud-init collect-logs`.

This results in the errors below.

Is running collect-logs inside a chroot an expected use case or should I just gather as much as I can from the list @ http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/capabilities.html#cloud-init-collect-logs

ubuntu@failed-boot-debug:~$ sudo chroot /home/ubuntu/failedbootdebug/ cloud-init collect-logs
