Hm, but all three of those links are specifically about drbd on loopback. We could add a documentation note (not sure where - lxc-create man page?) about running drbd nodes on loopback-backed containers... I suspect the qemu-nbd backing store (which I'll do next, at some point) will be far more widely used than loopback. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
