Talk:Linux namespaces

New section

This is my first major wikipedia contribution, having only done some minor rewordings before. I'd appreciate any help and advices on the structure or wording of this article.

This is a work in progress, especially the namespace kinds paragraph needs to be extended a lot to explain the various kinds better. Sentences need to be written from there points...

The cgroup ns controller should be mentioned somewhere.

The inode number pointed to by this symlink is the same for each process in this namespace.

This is unclear as, if I understand correctly, a symlink does not point to an inode, unlike a hardlink. It is just an arbitrary text which may or may not meaningfully refer to a file.

That being said, the symlink text does indeed contain a numeric id, but is it an inode number (in which case, on what filesystem?)
