Cool.  Thanks.  That clears that up.

Now, another point on the curve.  In my containers, I have an ro mounted
regular file system that's a bind mount from another directory.

In the Alcove container, where I have a double set of bind mounts ala
what C Anthony described in an earlier message.  In that container, I
can remount rw (which I WISH it was not allowed to do, but it is) and
then remount back to ro to my hearts content and it never affects the
host or the other containers.  That WORKS!  It just doesn't work
for /dev/pts for some reason.  In a second container, Plover, which is
NOT set up the way C Anthony described, if I set that shared ro mount to
rw and then back to ro, the host parent file system is now ro as well.
So it did propagate back to the host file system.  So what he described
seems to be accurate.  It's just not working for the special file
systems.  Also seems like quite a bugger to set up in the host system.
Bleah.
