Hello list,
I've discovered a strange (but normal) behaviour on my vserver host, related
to namespaces and inheritance of mount points. I'm working with vs 2.0,
kernel 2.6.12.4
"vs1" and "vs2" are vservers, located on /vservers/vs{1,2}/. These directories
are mount points for LVM logical volumes.
To illustrate the problem :
# vserver vs1 stop
# umount /vservers/vs1
# rmdir /vservers/vs1/
rmdir: `/vservers/vs1/': Device or resource busy
# vnamespace -e vs2 umount /vservers/v1/
# rmdir /vservers/v1/
#
From what I understand : "vs1" and "vs2" have new namespaces, inherited from
the host server. As /vserver/vs1 is mounted *before* vs2 is started, it
appears in the namespace of "vs2".
When "/vservers/v1/" is unmounted in the host namespace, it still appears to
be mounted in the "vs2" namespace, so it has to be unmounted there too.
This is logical, but a little bit disturbing. Are there any tools (apart from
"vnamespace") to deal with VFS namespaces : having a list of namespaces,
knowing what appears in each, umounting in all namespaces, etc. ?
Is there a mean to control what is inherited in the namespace of a vserver ?
