What do you think about the following feature?
"Subdirectory is automatically a new filesystem" property - an administrator
turns
on this magic property of a filesystem, after that every mkdir *in the root* of
that filesystem creates a new filesystem. The new filesystems have
default/inherited properties except for the magic property which is off.
This has been brought up before and I thought there was an open CR for
it but I can't find it.
Right now I see this as being mostly useful for /home. Main benefit in this case
is that various user administration tools can work unmodified and do the right
thing when an administrator wants a policy of a separate fs per user
But I am sure that there could be other interesting uses for this.
A good use case. Another good one is shared build machine which is
similar to the home dir case.
