Genode is not another Linux (or comparable OS). There are no processes. The most process-like entity in genode is the protection domain(PD). But the PD is already virtualized. That makes it like a container with only one process. To share a namespace between two PDs you have to explicitely configure that sharing. There are libraries that help you with that and contain even some default naming of capabilities. But mostly you will have to setup the sharing of a namespace by copying capabilities between PDs. > Alexander > > > > 23 дек. 2021 г., в 21:05, Norman Feske <[email protected]> > > написал(а): > > > > Dear Genode community, > > > > it is the time of the year again to reflect and make plans for the > > foreseeable future.
