Another way of getting global access to per-whatever variant file systems
is to have a distinct root for each "whatever"'s view of the file system.
Thus, if each user has a different view, look at
/auto/users/fred/usr/local/src/linux to get fred's view, and
/auto/users/george/usr/local/src/linux to get george's view.
If each process has a different view, you look at
/proc/1234/fs/usr/local/src/linux to get process 1234's view.
All this assumes that the distinctions are made by the kernel.
Expect to consume more resources running such a file system (dcache
isn't going to be quite as useful in obtaining efficiency).
