Then I am asking a simpler question. How to say a mount as root filesystem, using lxc tools.

-Thanks

Dear Nobin,

I found that you may "loop mount" a tarball by using fuse and the libarchive 
subsystem (http://serverfault.com/questions/138403/mount-a-tar-file-not-possible). Then, 
you may use this mount as a container root.

I found that this even seems to be possible in r/w-mode because 
(http://archive09.linux.com/feature/132196) [" archivemount delays all write 
operations until the archive is unmounted."].


Greetings

Guido

Subject: [lxc-users] How to bring up a container from rootfs tarball

Hi All,

Can you shed some info(or links) on bringing up a container, where I
want to use some root filesystem,(which is basically tarball i.e. tar.gz).

I don't want to use the apt/rpms.
