+ <braunr> teythoon: hum, i just saw something disturbing
+ <braunr> teythoon: to isolate the leak, i created my own proc directory
+ <braunr> and the mtab translators it spawns seem to be owned by root oO
+ <teythoon> braunr: but how is that possible? are you sure? have you checked
+ with 'ids'?
+ <braunr> no i'm not sure
+ <braunr> also, ext2fs seems to ignore --writable when started as a passive
+ translator
+ <braunr> < teythoon> braunr: but how is that possible?
+ <braunr> messup with passive translators i guess
+ <braunr> teythoon: actually, it looks like it has effective/available id
+ <braunr> it has no*
+ <braunr> this feature doesn't map well in unix
+ <teythoon> braunr: ah yes, htop doesn't handle this well and shows root
+ indeed, our ps shows - as username
+ <braunr> yes
