Do namespaces separate file system caches? That would surprise me.

IIRC it depends on which storage backend for docker you use: https://web.archive.org/web/20170405122924/https://developer...
The only one that could matter here would be mnt. And since bind mounts normally wouldn't cache pages separately, I don't think that would happen for the namespaces either. Happy to be proven wrong though.

More specifically I wouldn't expect "free -m" to produce different result depending on the namespace it's run in.
