@Biswapriyo It depends on the issue, it's very hard to know. If it's a command-line thing, then the version is probably irrelevant. If it is a GUI thing, then the version is more likely to be relevant.

Hello

I am trying to create a child process with its own private filesystem and mountpoints. I managed to create the child and have its own pid namespace. But when unmounting in the child in propagates to the parent for some unknown reason. I mean by that that when the program ends, the parent actually has its /proc also unmounted because I get the following issue in the terminal after the program finished:

    $ sudo ./container
        [sudo] password for john:
        waiting children
        In child
