I put private namespaces in too. I.e. I put in system call to support Plan-9
style session, attach, mount, and then have the VFS read/write etc. go to a
VFS with plan9-style operations, communicating 9p to a server (I only have
two: a memfs and a ufs). Union mounts work in the plan 9 style. I also have a
library which does the "hijack function calls to libc" so that you have it
from user mode on other OSes.
Test was to have a login with no mounted file systems available. All you got
was a shell called KISS, which let you do the session/attach/mount commands
and build up your name space. The acid test was, of course, running Emacs. It
worked.
So, yes, this is the correct subject.
