3977 C<guestfs_mkmountpoint> and C<guestfs_rmmountpoint> are

3982 mainly the case where you want to mount a mix of unrelated and/or
3983 read-only filesystems together.
3985 For example, live CDs often contain a \"Russian doll\" nest of
3986 filesystems, an ISO outer layer, with a squashfs image inside, with
3987 an ext2/3 image inside that. You can unpack this as follows
3990 add-ro Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso
3994 mkmountpoint /ext3fs
3996 mount-loop /cd/LiveOS/squashfs.img /sqsh
3997 mount-loop /sqsh/LiveOS/ext3fs.img /ext3fs
3999 The inner filesystem is now unpacked under the /ext3fs mountpoint.

4002 You may get unexpected errors if you try to mix these calls. It is
4003 safest to manually unmount filesystems and remove mountpoints after use.
4005 C<guestfs_umount_all> unmounts filesystems by sorting the paths
4006 longest first, so for this to work for manual mountpoints, you
4007 must ensure that the innermost mountpoints have the longest
4008 pathnames, as in the example code above.
