That's what I've been trying to explain to you all along. The propagation will be done _regardless_ of the flag. The flag is only checked for the parent of the _requested_ mount. If it is allowed there, the mount, including any propagations are allowed. If it's denied, then obviously it's denied everywhere. > and in case if you allow the mount to appear under /mnt/1, you will > break unpriviledge mounts semantics which promises: a normal user will > not be able to mount at a location that does not allow user-mounts. No, it does not promise that. The flag just promises, that the user cannot _request_ a mount on the parent mount.
