-system.hostfs doesn't seem to work

[MikSFG]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to audit my host from my container, but when I mount my var,sys,proc to the container's /hostfs it doesn't affect anything, audit doesn't do anything with them.

For example, I can check my host's login events when my /var is mounted to the container's /var, but not when it's mounted to the /hostfs/var even tho I'm using "-system.hostfs=/hostfs".

I tried adding system.hostfs as option in config too, same result.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
