- arno1 10y agoIsolated or separated (from the host system). Both words will work when context is clear. Or it can confuse, when context was not specified, which is in my case. What I actually meant is that I'd rather run an isolated (separated) process from other processes and the file-system space (and the other isolation features which cgroups are giving us), not meaning isolation from the host system. With the cgroups/namespaces it's a process isolation (or separation, whatever wording you prefer). In the Linux kernel documentation they also use isolation wording. ;-)
