[lxc-devel] Does lxc support unionfs ?
Currently, I am trying to implement full container clone (with all processes running in container). For performance, copy-on-write filesystem will be a good choice. Does lxc container support fs like unionfs-fuse? Any reply will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you, Stéphane. It seems that I need to talk with my lab members about which cow fs is more proper.

Re: [lxc-devel] Does lxc support unionfs ?
Another question. If I start a ubuntu template lxc container tm1 and do "lxc-start-ephemeral -o tm1", overlayfs mount will not include those ramfs (e.g. /proc, /sys, /run) in original container root directory, right ? Actually, I think this script run outside container tm1 and it even can't see those ramfs directories in original container. Thanks Jin 2012/6/5 Jin Chen > Thank you, Stéphane.
