Message-ID: <445a2e694b4a666d6a7c9b24d0a5ee06@plan9.escet.urjc.es> (raw)

An alternative to having a special system call
could be for RFCNAMEG to mean `a namespace with just
a reasonable set of kernel devices mounted under /ur'.


There'd be no bootstrap problem (well, it would be hidden inside the code
for RFCNAMEG).

This alternative would lead to:

1. the problem of using just some of the devices and not
all of them.

2. the problem of `which one is the reasonable set' (eg. we probably
dont want #| there for each RFCNAMEG).

If the implementation of RFCNAMEG becomes just a bunch of attach calls
to the set of `reasonable' # names, and we permit unmount on, say, /ur/console
then I'd say that 1 is not a problem.

Regarding 2, I don't have an answer (other than keeping #| or changing
its semantics---eg. creating pipes by cloning and not by attaching).
