More Information
Summary:A system and method are provided for mitigating propagation of select mounts in a shared mount tree. One or more mounts in the mount tree may be designated as non-bindable. Each non-bindable mount cannot be mirrored to a mount point through a mirror operation of a mount subtree in which the non-bindable mount resides. Similarly, each non-bindable mount prevents a submount residing on the non-bindable mount to be mirrored. However, the non-bindable mount and it's submounts may be mirrored when the entire mount tree is mirrored and attached to a mount point that resides in a no mount tree that acts as a pivot for a new mount tree created through a mirror operation. A mirror of the non-bindable mount maintains the properties of the non-bindable mount.
