If we change that wording, I'd like to make sure we don't lose any details in the information. Please CC any related kernel developers, and suggest them review the documentation for more consistent language.Until recently, there was "mount point" used all over this man pages. This was changed to "mount" in one of the previous release of man pages.I didn't know that; please point to the commit that did that.Probably this one: commit 8c9a82742976dc98578338ef886776f06c0ab3f2 Author: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 2021-08-18 01:34:54 +0200 mount_namespaces.7: Terminology clean-up: "mount point" ==> "mount" Many times, this page use the terminology "mount point", where "mount" would be better. A "mount point" is the location at which a mount is attached. A "mount" is an association between a filesystem and a mount point. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> Both terms are valid, but they have different meanings. (No idea which one is appropriate in the paragraph in question.)
Thanks! I also don't know, so I'll leave this as is for now. Cheers, Alex
