That's good to know, thanks! My question was meant a little different
though (and is probably somewhat off-topic, but it fit nicely into the
thread):

If any process could potentially sit in its own namespace (whether
created by systemd or manually) and have its own mounts, is there any
way for me to get a list of *all* the mounts in any namespace (without
having to determine which pids have their own namespace and query
them one by one)?


Best,
