It also lacked a lot of system calls, like ability to loop mount.
Loop mounting is implemented as a separate syscall? But why? I'd expect it to be a parametric thing like
mount("loop", ...)ლ(•ᯅ• )ლ
Or do you just mean the whole feature was absent? I'm less surprised by that than the fact that loop mounting might be a separate syscall. Considering stuff like the fact that in NTFS, symlinks to files and to directories are two different things, and the program creating a symlink must distinguish which target it needs.
Mounting in general is a system call, loop mounting is the particular case that is required for features like snap to work
