Public bug reported: There is a typo in the output of lxc-create --help
specifically the --lxcpath line has 2 issues: 1 It should start "-P, --lxcpath" 2 It says "patch" instead of "path" $ lxc-create --help usage: lxc-create -n NAME [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-t TEMPLATE] [FS_OPTIONS] -- [-P lxcpath] [TEMPLATE_OPTIONS] where FS_OPTIONS is one of: -B none -B dir [--dir rootfs_dir] -B lvm [--lvname LV_NAME] [--vgname VG_NAME] [--fstype FS_TYPE] [--fssize FS_SIZE] -B btrfs Create a new container on the system. Options: -n NAME specify the name of the container -f CONFIG_FILE use an existing configuration file -t TEMPLATE use an accessible template script -B BACKING_STORE alter the container backing store (default: none) --lxcpath path specify an alternate container patch (default: /var/lib/lxc) --lvname LV_NAME specify the LVM logical volume name (default: container name) --dir ROOTFS_DIR specify path for custom rootfs directory location --vgname VG_NAME specify the LVM volume group name (default: lxc) --fstype FS_TYPE specify the filesystem type (default: ext4) --fssize FS_SIZE specify the filesystem size (default: 500M) To see template-specific options, specify a template. For example: lxc-create -t ubuntu -h I have looked at the package source, and I can see that lxc-create.in needs the changes, but I don't know how to go about making them. I am very keen to help if I can.
