Abstract
In some examples, a system may determine a mountpoint included in a first filesystem for mounting a userspace filesystem. For instance, the userspace filesystem may be executable in a userspace provided by an operating system. The system may determine a bind mount path for a mount path corresponding to the mountpoint. The system may bind mount, to the determined bind mount path, at least a portion of a second filesystem associated with the mount path corresponding to the mountpoint. In addition, the system may mount the userspace filesystem at the mountpoint, and may incorporate data from the second filesystem into the userspace filesystem through the bind mount path.
