That's normally done with a thing called a "file" ;) Could we stick all the necessary state into files in a pseudo-fs and have the daemon go and open and read them all when it restarts? I don't understand that bit. But then, I don't have a clue how autofs works. It isn't a good idea to wait for races to reveal themselves. It will take years, especially with a system which has as low a call frequency as autofs mounting. And once a bug _does_ reveal itself, by then we'll have tens of millions of machines out there running that bug. connector or genetlink would be more fashionable transports. yeah, could be a problem. Hopefully the namespace people can advise. Perhaps we need a concept of an exportable-to-userspace namespace-id+uid, namespace-id+gid, namespace-id+pid, etc for this sort of thing. It has come up before. Recently, but I forget what the context was. --
