While that's a real problem, and for chroot it can be fixed, it's much 
more complicated for the more complex container namespace case with 
custom mounts, including loop back, etc.

It seems it really need some kind of agent to handle all cases. For 
example the agent could understand container metadata formats and then 
do the right thing.
