There isn't a fundamental need for this to be a dense numberspace (in fact, there are substantial reasons why it's a bad idea; the only reason the namespace is dense at the moment is because of the hideously bad handing of utmp in glibc.) Other than indicies, this seems to be a more special case of device isolation across namespaces, would that be a more useful problem to solve across the board? hpa _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
