This is something I previously submitted as part of one of the LXC patches, but I figure it makes sense on its own, since OpenVZ needs this now too.
No update to libvirt.rng? Or test cases?
Mmm, yes need the RNG file at least. We need to have a generic test suite for validating the RNG against the XML files in tests/, as well as ad-hoc XML files we may add
<os> <type>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os>
Will this be optional? Whilst it doesn't exist in any form now, Solaris Zones has no such concept (it's /always/ init, but it's also completely private to the implementation and should be exposed).
Yes it is completely optional - its not required upon input. If the driver has a default value it wants to expose it can set it, so its visible upon XML dump.
<filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/some/directory'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem>
No facility for mount options?
Not until we have a concrete need for them in one of the drivers. We can add them as attributes on the <source> tag, or child elements, as we find need for them.
I don't think any of the stated options would work for ZFS dataset delegation, though I suppose that could be added later if it happens.
What is ZFS dataset delegation ?
What is template?
Templates are a concept OpenVZ / VServer have to simplify management of container filesystems. Basically a 'canned' filesystem image, that is instantiated for each container on demand. eg, a tar.gz containing the FS, that is extracted once for each container using it.
