 Well, security thru obscurity is not the best technique ;-)
 However, it seems that reveal too much info about host system for jail user,
 or even for jail admin, is not always the best. We plan to use it together with
 Pawel Jakub Dawidek's jailfsstat kernel module.
 
 This code path is rare, so no performance problem I think. Any objections?
 
 
 Sincerely,
