Subject: [PATCH 2/3] idmapped-mounts: add more explanations to setgid tests
Date: Fri,  7 Jan 2022 15:44:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220107144436.332389-2-brauner@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220107144436.332389-1-brauner@kernel.org>

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>

The explanations before were a bit thin and people not familiar with
setgid inheritance might get confused. Make it easier to understand the
tests.
