Re: [Libvir] PATCH: 0/16: Storage management APIs

DB> The patch series that follows provides storage management APIs for dealing DB> with local directories, local filesystems, remote filesystems, logical DB> volumes (LVM), disk partitioning, and iSCSI. It will also soon support DB> SCSI host adapters (including NPIV). What about a directory of directories? For something like containers, you want to bind-mount a directory on the host system into the container's space. It seems reasonable to have a directory of, for example, copies of var for each of your container. For example: /var/lib/containers/var/{mycontA,mycontB}/{lib,spool,cache,...} ^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ | | | Pool ----------------+ | | Volume ---------------------+ | Volume -----------------------------+ I haven't read anything in my skimming that leads me to believe that anything in the infrastructure you're adding would prevent such an implementation down the road, but I just thought I'd bring it up. -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms(a)us.ibm.com
