Alternatively, for files that doesn't change a lot, you can create a file /container-storage-area/my_copy_of_meminfo at container creation, and bind mount *that* file. There is no reason to bind mount a kernel-provided file directly. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
