| |
Hi !
I've got two questions :
1. Is there any plan to support mount per process ? I mean a process can mount a filesystem and only that process (or process group) see it. For example mounting an encrypted filesystem would require that only the user is able to read it. afaik this is standard part of Hurd and many microkernels, and it's a nice feature to use this with Linux too. 2. When will restricted proc be the part of the standard kernel ? Imho in multitask environment it's a must not to show process information for everyone. afaik Solar designer's patch use the gid mount option to have a group which have full access to processes throught the proc fs. It's a very light patch, I think it would be easy to integrate.
Thx : Gabor.
