Re: [lxc-users] ZVOL and zfs support inside a container

2017-04-02 Thread Stéphane Graber
You'd need to pass /dev/zfs, something like this should do: lxc config device add CONTAINER zfs unix-char path=/dev/zfs But I'm a bit concerned as to how zfs will behave since it's not aware of mount namespaces, so it may attempt to do mounts at the host level or mount in the container nameps

Stéphane, for the use case I have in mind it might actually be ok, I'm just trying to avoid installing and running some stuff on the root box, but I have no problems with the entire zfs pool being exposed to this specific container. How would I go about doing that? thanks, Spike On Sun, Apr 2,

Hi, I'm playing with various combinations of virtualization and backends to find the best way to manage some samba and nfs exports and one of the options I'm considering is the following: - run a lxd container backed up by zfs - create a ZVOL on zfs - export the VZOL to the container as a block d

thanks for clarifying, that's very helpful, especially the part about libvirt, which I was reading more about and wasn't sure if indeed it was directly using lxc or what. I most definitely don't want to use a "3rd party" implementation even tho virt-manager is pretty appealing for some of the end-u

Dear all, when I started to look into containers LXD was "the thing" so I picked that up and ran with it. however after a few months and a few more users who would like to use containers + the need for some kvm machines, has brought me to reconsider that decision. First off, I'm not really sure
