But I guess that "empty namespace" (without any running process) is impossible for PID namespaces, right? It would be nice to add a note about it to the man page. It would be also nice to add example with --mount-proc, because in this case you need to specify --mount=<file> too # unshare --pid=ns-bind-pid --mount=ns-bind-mnt --mount-proc another session: # nsenter --pid=ns-bind-pid --mount=ns-bind-mnt > The ugly bit about this patch is the clone(2) call, arguably not our Please, can you a little elaborate why need clone() and what's wrong with fork()+unshare()?

It's strange to continue and ignore errors in this case. The current result on errors is mess.
