well, findmnt is neither "red hat stuff", it's used all over the

mount logic in that area.

as a matter of fact, my manual page for findmnt lists Karel Zak <[email protected]> as the sole author if findmnt; that others have adopted it doesn't make it not "redhat stuff".

You are probably right that this should be fixed in df and (presumably all the other tools that don't work properly in systemd-nspawn containers), but as a general principle I believe "if you break it, you own it" applies here. As a novice user of these containers, I suspect this kind of error must have been seen before by the systemd developers, so someone among the systemd contributors probably has prior discovery rights to this bug as well.

In any case, some might argue that a container (lightweight or not) should be virtually indistinguishable from the original system which would mean such a bug could not happen.
