If it's configurable at all for tmpreaper (or similar), it should work the same for tmpreaper in virtual machine containers. (Same as, e.g. utsname is different in containers). If not now, someone will have to patch it later. Each VM runs it's own tmpreaper, configured usually by separate people. It's probably simpler to make it per-mountpoint than a virtualised global. I don't see why there is an objection to per-mountpoint. Andrew Morton's syntax: mount /dev/foo /mnt/bar -o relatime=86400 looks natural to me. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
