Yepp, and that's IMHO a design flaw. E.g. if one wants to distribute the load on iots storage, it might make sense, to distribute the zones of several storage devices, e.g. zone1 on JBOD1, zone2 on JBOD2, etc....
As said, the only thing, which lxc nees to track is a single "config directory" which either contains the symlinks to the "real" zone configs OR the real config fails itself - since they usually contain lxc.rootfs = ..., there is not really a need, to keep it in its original place. And last but not least, IMHO LXC should have an interest to make things easy to manage for the users, otherwise there is no wonder, why everyone is talking about docker but not about lxc ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424233 Title: RFE lxc: lxc should do a better jon of housekeeping containers Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Right now lxc does a pretty poor job wrt. managing containers, i.e. one needs to know, where containers have been installed to be able to access/use/manage them (option -P dir) unless they've been installed in the default location. Even if one knows the install path, it is still a pain to work with corresponding lxc commands, because one always needs to specify -P ... This really sucks (especially if one needs to service foreign machines). So the proposal is, that if a zone gets created, lxc puts a symlink to the related config under /etc/lxc/cfg/ or something like that and all lxc tools like lxc-ls first check this directory, and if the link destination exists, it has all information it needs to know., i.e. all "-P idontknow" madness is not required anymore.
