Problem 1:
- you're mounting things into the global namespace, but expect it only
be visible to a certain subset of processes. these processes are also
not specicified by a tradition unix session / process group / etc but
against all the process attributes we have based on the uid
Problem 2, which is related:
- in fuse you're re-routing filesystem request to userspace, so fine so good
- mount is currently a privilegued operation, and expects a privilegued
filesystem implementation, not an ordinary user
- to bypass that you have a suid mount wrapper
- now you need various hacks to make sure this can't be used by other users
in short you are hacking around the namespace management which sits above
the filesystems in a rather broken way.
