config-linux: Drop the default-filesystem section
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Users who need these mounts would have to explicitly set them up in
their configuration (as runtime-tools continues to do [1]) if they
wanted to guarantee their presence.  Users who don't need them can
omit them from their configuration.  I don't see how keeping a
SHOULD-strength runtime requirement helps either of those workflows.

This document describes the schema for the [Linux-specific section](config.md#platform-specific-configuration) of the [container configuration](config.md).
The Linux container specification uses various kernel features like namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, LSM, and filesystem jails to fulfill the spec.

## Default Filesystems

The Linux ABI includes both syscalls and several special file paths.
Applications expecting a Linux environment will very likely expect these file paths to be setup correctly.

The following filesystems SHOULD be made available in each container's filesystem:

| Path | Type |
| -------- | ------ |
| /proc | [procfs](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt) |
| /sys | [sysfs](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt) |
| /dev/pts | [devpts](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt) |
| /dev/shm | [tmpfs](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt) |

## Namespaces

A namespace wraps a global system resource in an abstraction that makes it appear to the processes within the namespace that they have their own isolated instance of the global resource.
