| May 11, 2016 at 7:41 | comment | added | muru | Depending on how early it happened, wouldn't init's CWD still be in the old / in that scenario? It wouldn't work in general since there's no way to make sure a process is started in the old mount point, but with /, init is a good candidate, hopefully? | |
| May 11, 2016 at 7:27 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @muru That only works if the directory was the current directory of some process. It doesn't work in general for the scenario that inspired this question, which was accessing a branch of an overlay filesystem that was mounted on /. | |
| May 11, 2016 at 1:06 | comment | added | muru | A quick test shows the shadowed directory is accessible using /proc/PID/cwd for a process that was running in it before the shadowing mount. That won't do, I guess? | |
