Im sorry Im fairly new to this.

youre saying there is no way to know the mount point unless its already
mounted?

for instance in kernel 2.2 you had a d_covers pointer to the dentry the
mount would be placed on?

I need to know the subtree that will be made invisible once the fs is
mounted

is there a way ?
