Topicbox-Message-UUID: dedce57c-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 i still like to think of private namespaces as the ultimate virtualizer: your ns is your "virtual environment", the file server you're mounting is the "hypervisor". i don't care that it doesn't simulate actual hardware like xen/qemu. after all, each has layers and layers of abstractions to get you from the hardware to a usable environment.
