Call the pivot root by it's name. do you mean, like the linux method? i'm not sure this is the right term to use then, since that is done in-kernel and not at init. it has a similar effect, but the mechanics are different.. our method keeps all the old root around as well.This method was introduced by that name on our lists.please back this out. it's very different to what Linux does, your comment is inaccurate and misleading.
Well, as far as I understand, people searching for this feature may well have "pivot root" in their mind when they search for this. Can we find some naming that hints that this is what they're searching for, instead of leaving them out in the dark?
How about "This is similar to the 'pivot root' feature found elsewhere"? - Hubert
