Is this a fundamental design issue with null_fs or a bug?
There appears to be a lot of confusion on the lists about this point as many people are trying to do this so as to make a single mysql server available from within a number of jails, for instance. However people appear to think that this is a limitation of the jail code, not a limitation of the null_fs code. Having named pipes work in null_fs filesystems would be a very handy thing indeed.
I'd appreciate any insights into this.
Just wanted to say that it seems like this should work, and I'm not yet certain why it doesn't. I've looked into it a bit, but my time is very limited, so I doubt I'll be able to put much more into it..
It's been brought to my attention that there's been a PR open about it since April 2003: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/51583. It's got a patch in it, but it's not complete.
I'd really really appreciated it if someone with file system foo could take a look and comment.
Thanks thanks, Joe
