SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/7] Initial support for user namespace owned mounts
Date
It's worth noting here that I think a lot of the use cases
for unprivileged mounts are testing/development type things,
and these are pretty well covered by:

http://libguestfs.org/

Basically it just runs the host kernel in a VM, and the userspace
is a minimal agent that you can talk to over virtio. You can use
the API, or `guestmount` exposes it via FUSE.

It doesn't magically make the kernel filesystems robust against
untrusted input, but in the case of compromise, it's an
"unprivileged" VM. I've used it for several projects and been
quite happy.
