Thanks, > I thought NFS was isolated through the mount namespace. I have a nfs server on 172.20.0.1 exporting "/home". On my host (IP 172.20.0.166), I mounted /home via nfs I created a debian system container with its own rootfs and network. Started it. As expected, the nfs mount point is unmounted as it does not belong to the rootfs, and then I remounted /home from my container (IP 172.20.0.42). This mount point is private to the container and not accessible from the other containers. This is what you want to do ? Or did I miss something ?
