I run multiple operating systems on my PC and access their filesystems from FreeBSD. Recently I've been playing with the idea that it may be useful to have a mount flag similar to MNT_NOSYMFOLLOW that restricts symbolic links in the flagged filesystems to them, that at least avoids crossing to parent directories on different filesystems. A "jailed symlink" of sorts. I believe that making the root directory the mount point when performing lookups is the way to go. What are the issues that I need to be aware of ? Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Igh.
