So if I have

/proc/self/uid_map: 0 100000 100000
/proc/self/fsid_map: 1000 1000 1

1. If I read files from the rootfs which have host uid 101000, they
will appear as uid 100 to me?

2. If I read host files with uid 1000, they will appear as uid 1000 to me?

3. If I create a new file, as uid 1000, what will be the inode owning uid?
