[Bug 1574514] Re: Strange behaviour with mount --bind
This has to do with the propagation behavior of the bind mount.
# mount --bind src dest
# findmnt -o+PROPAGATION | grep dest
├─.../dest shared
Shared propagation means that mounts and unmounts in any of the mirrors
propagate to the others. To change this:
# mount --make-private dest
# findmnt -o+PROPAGATION | grep dest
├─.../dest private
# mount ... src/mnt
# touch src/mnt/foo
# ls src/mnt
foo lost+found
# ls dest/mnt
dest/mnt will have the same contents as before the mount in src.
I think I remember something about the default behavior changing with
the switch to systemd, from private to shared, but I can't remember for
sure. If you're seeing a different behavior than in older, upstart-based
releases of Ubuntu that may be why.
Marking this bug invalid because the kernel's behavior is exactly what's
expected.

Title:
Strange behaviour with mount --bind
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The following problem appears with Ubuntu wily 15.10 and xenial 16.04:
I bind-mount my rootfs to a temporary folder. I explicitly use --bind
and NOT --rbind. The result is as expected: I only see the files which
are in the rootfs, any other mounts are invisible in this directory.
But when I mount another directory later, It automatically also gets
mounted in my temporary directory.
Example (tested with the Live CD xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso):
root@xubuntu:~# mkdir /mnt/source
root@xubuntu:~# mkdir /mnt/target
root@xubuntu:~# mount --bind / /mnt/source
root@xubuntu:~# ls /mnt/source/mnt/target/
root@xubuntu:~# mount -t tmpfs none /mnt/target
root@xubuntu:~# touch /mnt/target/testfile
root@xubuntu:~# ls /mnt/source/mnt/target/
testfile
The testfile in the last line SHOULD NOT APPEAR because
/mnt/source/mnt/target/ should not be mounted.
I don't find an explanation for this behaviour.
I found this because I wanted to run:
tar cpC /mnt/source/ . | tar xpC /mnt/target/
The command began to cyclic copy
/mnt/source/mnt/target/mnt/target/mnt/target/mnt/target/
This scenario always worked in the past versions of Ubuntu and Debian
