To do that do you need to print the path, or is an extra option that
reveals nothing except that it was a cgroup mount sufficient?

Is there any practical difference between a mount in a namespace and a
bind mount?

Given the way the conversation has been going I think it would be good
to see the answers to these questions.  Perhaps I missed it but I
haven't seen the answers to those questions.
