The following set of patches add the first batch of linux container support to libvirt. The work is not complete but I wanted to start getting some of this out for comments. This set of patches supports the following: * new switch --with-lxc to enable linux container support (off by default) * virConnectOpen * virConnectClose * virConnectListDomains (of course none are listed since we can't start the containers yet) * virConnectNumOfDomains * virConnectListDefinedDomains * virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains * virDomainLookupByUUID * virDomainLookupByName * virDomainGetInfo * virDomainGetXMLDesc * virDomainDefineXML * virDomainUndefine A sample XML format that can be used to define a linux container domain: <domain type='linuxcontainer'> <name>TestContainer3</name> <container> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/home/user/lxc_files/etc/'/> <target dir='/etc/'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/home/user/lxc_files/var/'/> <target dir='/var/'/> </filesystem> <init>/usr/sbin/container_init</init> </container> <memory>65536</memory> <devices> <console tty='/dev/pts/4'/> </devices> </domain> I've left out the network definition as I'll be tackling that a little later on... I'm currently working on starting a container. Any and all questions and comments are welcome. Thanks! -- Best Regards, Dave Leskovec IBM Linux Technology Center Open Virtualization
