Aleksa, thank you! Don't give up. We all need these manpages. I see you didn't address some my previous notes. * move_mount(2) still says "Mount objects cannot be attached beneath the filesystem root". I suggest saying "root directory" or "root" or "root directory of the process" or just "/" instead. But you may keep this phrase as is, of course. * Docs for FSPICK_NO_AUTOMOUNT in fspick(2) are still wrong. They say that FSPICK_NO_AUTOMOUNT affects all components of path. Similar thing applies to mount_setattr(2) and move_mount(2) * open_tree(2) still says:
If flags does not contain OPEN_TREE_CLONE, open_tree() returns a file descriptor that is exactly equivalent to one produced by openat(2) when called with the same dirfd and path.
This is not true if automounts are involved. I suggest adding "modulo automounts". But you may keep everything, of course. -- Askar Safin
