There's no out there who can comment on this? Surely there must be a way
to solve this problem for libvirt lxc based containers.

I'm using libvirt_lxc to create and manage various containers. I

to enable certain capabilities in a container to support ctdb, and as
a quick solution I decided to just enable them all. I *thought* this
would do the trick, adding the following XML to my container config:
<features>
<capabilities policy='allow'>
</capabilities>
</features>
After adding this to my container, I restarted it and tried to start
the ctdb service again:
# systemctl start ctdb.service
Job for ctdb.service failed. See 'systemctl status ctdb.service' and
'journalctl -xn' for details.
# systemctl status ctdb.service

This implies that the container still doesn't have access to the
capabilities it needs to use. I believe this error in fact is caused
by the container not having the sys_nice capability. So I tried to
allow this specific capability using:
<features>
<capabilities policy='default'>
<sys_nice state='on'/>
</capabilities>
</features>
This did not work either. So, what *is* the correct way to add
capabilities to a container?
