Hi, completely agree with all of this. In fact, we've been focusing on the problem you mention about needing FS holes for VMs to regain container semantics (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/hotstorage19-paper-koller.pdf https://www.usenix.org/system/files/hotstorage19-paper-kolle...). Just in case, these are some of the container semantics we care about: FS crash consistency, file sharing (write+write), and efficient use of memory due to having a single page cache. The key question is: what's the smallest hole we can poke (smaller than allowing every single FS operation in the host)?
