Hello, Well, I guess I can do that the thing is the current scenario was like that. Anyway, I thought something like what you describe could be happening. I saw your patch and I'm going to test it tomorrow. But I think the patch needs to be tagged for stable since there is going to be effort to make filesystems mountable in non-init user namespace and an arbitrary user could potentially cause instability on the system?
