Re: [libvirt-users] LXC container driver
NB user namespaces are a fairly new piece of functionality that
is still somewhat rough around the edges. You usuaully want to
have the most recent kernel.org stable kernel available when
using this.
Yes, I confirm it is a little bit touchy for me.

I do think my kernel is not too old.
They are broadly speaking functionally equivalent but using libvirt gives
you all the usual benefits libvirt has. Stable API, accessible from
multiple programming languages, stable configuration, integration with
other apps using libvirt. eg you can use virt-top to monitor things
or virt-manager as a GUI frontend, etc, etc
Ok, I understand and it is the reason why I decided to stay away from
LXC. So, even if it is less user-friendly, I will keep libvirt, as in
the past it gave me full satisfaction, the mailing-list tool included
:-)
