+means Borg won't cross filesystem boundaries when looking for files to backup.
+This is especially important when running borgmatic in a container, as
+container volumes are mounted as separate filesystems. One work-around is to
+explicitly add each mounted volume you'd like to backup to
+`source_directories` instead of relying on Borg to include them implicitly via
+a parent directory.
