Hi, all. I've just been looking at the FS_SINGLE implementation, and
have a few comments:
- although not documented, you need to do kern_mount() before trying
normal mounts of a FS_SINGLE; perhaps kern_mount()/kern_umount()
should be called automatically in

I see your point. However, that suggests that the naming of

shows all these VFS bindings, and separately a list of real mounts.
What's "real"? /proc/mounts would better left as it

What I mean by "real" mounts is a table that shows how each FS was
brought into the namespace (or each namespace, once you implement
CLONE_NEWNS). So for example:
#device filesystem roots
/dev/hda1 ext2/

Yeah, sure. I did say "for example". Your format looks fine. One
question: is the mount ID really needed? Can't you distinguish based
on what FS you're mounting (and mountpoint root)?
First of all, interface is

Beware of functions with many arguments... Besides, what about "kill
