I'm not so sure about that: at least in container environment it seems to be common practice to mount regular files somewhere into the container, e.g.: [root@7ce1ad192b6d /]# findmnt /etc/hosts -o target,source TARGET SOURCE /etc/hosts /dev/sda5[/docker/containers/7ce1ad192b6dc0e265e34d31c8a1ac22e878a751d9d810356eecdc77002e8013/hosts] Have a nice day, Berny
