No, they would just be directories that could be used for overlays (like in the case of sharing / with the parent, but overlaying a different /var). I think what Dan is suggesting is a way to automatically populate a new var overlay when the user creates an "image" of the type "directory" through libvirt. They would say "create me a new var, based on this other existing var over here". -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms(a)us.ibm.com
