Yes. Which we've pressured to resolve forever, but it's been ignored.

We need to solve this out kernel wide, and right now the kernel doesn't
support different dev_t / fsids inside a single file syste at all.
SuSE hacks around that badly for limited user interfaces with the
horrible get_inode_dev method they've added, but this has been rejected
upstream for good reason. What this series does is to add another
limited version of this through the backdoor.
