jcmd uses src/jdk.internal.jvmstat/linux/classes/sun/jvmstat/PlatformSupportImpl.java to scan temporary directories to find out processes in the container. It checks inode to ensure the temp directory is not conflicted. However inode maybe same value between the container and others. Thus we should check device id for that case.

For example I saw following case on [distroless cc-debian11](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless/blob/main/cc/README.md) container. I started rescue:jdk19 container with sharing PID namespace. `/proc/1/root/tmp` is different from `/tmp` on rescue:jdk19, but they are same inode value. However we can see the differense in device id.


$ podman run -it --rm --entrypoint=sh --pid=container:fa39662f7352 rescue:jdk19
