We never mount sysfs in Sandstorm.
sysfs is ABI and applications depend on it.
Even glibc is using sysfs. Currently it has
fallback paths but these may go away...
Off-topic, but Sandstorm isn't intended to provide a full Linux ABI.
It is intended to provide a secure sandbox that can run apps that have
been explicitly ported to Sandstorm. More background if you're interested:
