But what would I do with this inode number. I am assuming this is
generated dynamically when respective namespace was created. To me
this is like assigning a pid dynamically and one does not create
policies in user space based on pid. Similarly I will not be able
to create policies based on an inode number which is generated
dynamically.
For it to be useful, it should map to something more static which
user space understands.
