[libvirt] Re: the <filesystem> tag (WAS: simple LXC/libvirt busybox container (Unable to get cgroup))
That all sounds great. wanted to say libvirt has been very useful to
my personal projects as well as the former company i worked for;
thanks to everyone invloved, its a great product! on a final note,
any chance there is a way to get libvirt to trigger an arbitrary
script (like the network scripts) that could handle this mount for me?
didnt see anything like that in docs but i figured i'd ask anyway.
thanks again for all the great work.

The plan is that the <filesystem> tag will eventually support 3 types
of sources, a directory (which gets bind mounted into the root),
a file (loopback device + mounted), or block device (directly mounted).
Currently though we only support the first option. So if you have a
block device, you should first mount it in your host OS, and then let
LXC bind the mount point into the container.

Daniel
