IOW, why the devil do you guys ignore Occam's Razor? Frankly, this nonsense has gone far enough; I can buy the need to compensate for shitty APIs (sockets, non-fs-based-IPC, etc.), but devpts *is* *a* *fucking* *filesystem*. Already. And as such it's already present in normal, real, we-really-shouldn't-have-any-other-if-not-for-ancient-stupidity namespace. Why not simply allow independent instances of devpts and be done with that? _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
