SubjectRe: Duplicate inode number when mount --bind some directories to same mountpoint. (from Fedora18 to 4.10-rc3)

Thanks for your polite explanation.
I can understand this is correct kernel specification
and above Fedora18 and RHEL7.0 is using shared mount as default.


I should have done it as follows.

# mount --make-private --bind a /mnt
# mount --make-private --bind b /mnt
# ls -i
100 a 999 b

# tali /proc/self/mountinfo
200 59 8:3 /home/a /mnt rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/sda3
rw,stripe=64,data=ordered
205 200 8:3 /home/b /mnt rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/sda3
rw,stripe=64,data=ordered
