    I think that would be _much_ nicer implemented as a mount which is
    invisible to other users, rather than one which causes the admin's
    scripts to spew error messages. Is the namespace mechanism at all
    suitable for that?

    It would also be nice to generalise and have virtual filesystems which
    are able to present different views to different users. Can FUSE do
    that already - is the userspace part told which user is doing each
    operation? With that, the desire for virtual filesystems which cannot
    be read by your sysadmin (by accident) is easy to satisfy - and that
    kind of mechanism would probably be acceptable to all.
