First I define two machines in the same user namespace as two machines with synchronized password files.
As today connecting two machines without synchronizing the password entries is a problem, won't work, and is punted to the sysadmin to make keep from doing something silly.
At the same time I don't want to make it easy to get confused, or cause breakage.
With these patches ocfs2 only still only works in the initial user namespace. I don't set .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT in struct filesystem. Which means that while users in other user namespaces can store files on ocfs2, they can't mount ocfs2.
