data/data folder on Android 11

Hello, I didn't find anything about it here. I recently rooted my Samsung Tab A. Found out that Total Commander displays only its own directory in thje data/data folder. Tried different file managers like FX, Root Explorer and Mixplorer, they all show the complete directory tree and I can read, copy and write. The same goes for user_de. Nothing is displayed with Total Commander. Correct Root access has been given. Using version 3.24b5.
Is there any solution to this problem? Total is the best File Manager for me and I'm using it for years now.

I have done some searching and found that on Android 11 and newer, the data of other apps is no longer accessible via /data/data, but via a new location:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0
See for example:

Maybe I will put a link in /data/data, but who knows where Google will move the files in future versions. Thanks for nothing, Android system developers.

Not only /data/data isn't accessible, /data/user_de/ and some others are also incomplete.
To solve this issue, I saw tasker provides an option to use root global namespace, and sdmaid changelog wrote this
"SD Maid will now use Magisk's --mount-master to restore pre Android 11 behavior with regards to accessing /data/data."
Hope these info can help.
