Unfortunately, there are frequently administrative reasons to say,
variously,
`everyone unmount this right now, we need to take this disk offline'
(chance to everyone's namespace)
`mount this so that all my daemons can see it' (change to namespace
unrelated to yours)
`everyone mount this right now, that disk is replaced and /opt/glurk is
back where it should be'.
I don't think automounters suffice for all of this --- and automounters
are arguably overkill for this sort of thing, anyway. Is there a way to
say that, if some processes' namespaces are clone/separated from all the
others?
