Subject: [9fans] ns behaviour for dos filesystems

(seems that in man page ns(1) /proc/pid/ns should be  /proc/$pid/ns)

Just noticed the following:
when I mount a dos file system, ``ns'' reports the right info.
When I then bind this mounted file system somewhere else,
the bind seems to get translated into a mount, but the device argument
for the mount is `forgotten'.

Example:
	c:
gives ns output:
	mount -c '#s/dos' /n/c: /dev/sdC0/dos
	mount -c '#s/dos' /n/c /dev/sdC0/dos

now doing
	bind /n/c /n/kremvax
gives
	mount  '#s/dos' /n/kremvax
i.e. the /dev/sdC0/dos argument has gotten lost.
(same is visible by just doing ``cat /proc/$pid/ns'')

A bit confused,
Axel.
