[$] listmount() and statmount()
Friday November 10, 2023. 04:26 PM , from LWN.net
Years ago, the list of mounted filesystems on a Unix or Linux machine was
relatively short and static. Adding a filesystem, which typically involved buying a new drive, happened rarely. In contrast, contemporary systems with a large number of containers can have a long and dynamic list of mounted filesystems. As was discussed at the 2023 LSFMM+BPF Summit, the Linux kernel's mechanism for providing information about mounted filesystems has not kept up with this change, leading to system-management headaches. Now, two new system calls proposed by Miklos Szeredi look set to provide some much-needed pain relief.
