Re: [GIT PULL] userns related vfs enhancements for v4.8

From: MichaÅ Zegan
Date: Tue Jul 26 2016 - 19:18:36 EST


I have one question: what uids are written in the filesystem inodes?
those that the kernel sees, or those mapped by user namespaces? and so,
is it true that the filesystem will still require shifting uids,
directly or indirectly, to be usable from inside user namespace? can't
uids be mapped dynamically from what is in the inode to kernel uids
based on the user namespace they are used from? Maybe because the fs can
be mounted from outside before starting the container?
