[Devel] [PATCH] restart: --mntns option restarts in a private mounts namespace

Oren Laadan orenl at cs.columbia.edu
Mon Jan 25 20:38:38 PST 2010


When this new switch is specified, the coordinator will unshare the
mounts namespace and restart will occur inside a private namespace.
Without it the restarting tasks will share the current mounts
namespace.
