Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:11 cypherpunks]:
 > Tor currently needs to access a few directories, including
 `/var/lib/tor`, `/var/log/tor`, and `/etc/tor`. I believe all of these
 have files that can't simply be opened once before a chroot because they
 need to be re-read when Tor reloads (e.g. when it receives a `SIGHUP`).
 Would it be an issue to create a `/var/lib/tor/chroot` directory and
 populate it with hardlinks to the relevant files?

 Those directories are the default. Tor has the DataDirectory, Log, and -f
 options, which can all be used to place the relevant files in a cheroot
 directory.
