Can someone tell me how I can upgrade OS on a lxc container? I want to upgrade my containers from centos 6.4 to centos 6.5. I have upgraded the host on which these containers are running on to centos. But want to know how to upgrade the containers.
A linux container is a clone of the host (*). So even though the host has been updated, due to Linux philosophy running processes, deleted files, ... are kept around as long as there somebody/something using them. So you need to destroy and re-start the containers and the update should take effect then. Michal * - unless you specify chroot for the container
