After asking various questions about unification, I don't think vhashify quite supports what I have in mind. I wanted to get some opinions/ideas from the users of this mailing list.

I am thinking if vservers can somehow be used to provide MAC (Mandatory Access Control) through containers. For example, a vserver shares the same filesystem as the host server, with read and write access to the host files being defined through a set of MAC policies. In this way, different policies can be defined for different vservers. Also, writes can be contained within a vserver (so that if a file is written to, a copy is made in the vserver's space) and integrated with the host only through explicit 'commits' to allow, for example, new configurations to be tested in an environment exactly the same as the host server and then transferred to the host using a commit.

Any comments please?

Thanks.
