many: add ephemeral-mount-namespace feature

Open zyga opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When the feature is enabled no mount namespace persistence is attempted. This is done in response to problematic behavior of ongoing updates, even under a frozen control group.

This change is disruptive and does not account for tests that currently observe this behavior.

For context: this is one of the two follow-ups identified in https://github.com/canonical/snapd/pull/14714

To test this you have to enable the feature:

sudo snap set core experimental.ephemeral-mount-namespace=true

EDIT: I've made that the default behavior now, to see how tests fare. You can still set it to false explicitly, to disable the feature.

I'm closing this as we do not expect to further make progress towards making mount namespaces ephemeral.
