Thanks, I like this idea very much. I think I have found at least one good use for it even before it is merged. :-) But...
One note: the previous patches all worked this way: mount --bind -o ro /source /dest These patches have changed that behavior. It now requires two steps: mount --bind /source /dest mount -o remount,ro /dest
Isn't this some kind of security risk (at least in my planned use)? I mean - for a small fraction of second somebody seeing /dest can write /source... No?
