Ugh, netfs_attempt_lookup did not fail, but netfs_S_dir_lookup does! This is because it sees that S_ISCHR evaluates to true on the node. Because fakeroot has no translator started on the node yet, fshelp_fetch_root will try to do so. Of course, it is not allowed to start a translator (whatever type of translator it wants to start, I didn't check which, maybe even "chrdev") as root (which is still the owner of /server/socket/1), so fshelp_fetch_root fails with EPERM. Distress. What can we do? Override... netfs_S_dir_lookup? fshelp_fetch_root? Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
