From 1230033ceb63cec775c5989491f5def29f944be7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 09:38:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] glossary: Remove "leaf" and "hierarchy" from runtime namespace definition Namespaces are not all hierarchical and processes aren't always in leaves. Also punt to config-linux.md for details about namespace creation, although currently that section doesn't talk much about how the runtime namespaces relate to new container namespaces [1]. Also mention resource access, because runtime namespaces play a role even if no new container namespaces are created. I've used resources that currently explicitly mention runtime namespaces as examples, although I think more resources (e.g. root.path and mounts[].source [2,3]) deserve wording about that as well and would be better examples if they'd already landed such wording.
