Description

There is currently no tracking of which images are mounted. This means garbage collection (or manual deletion) can remove an image from the repository while it is still actively mounted.

Should we enforce a convention where each image is mounted at a deterministic path so we can check if it is mounted (still won't work with containers)? Just document this behavior?
