1. implement bdev->create:
python and lua: send NULL for bdevtype and bdevspecs.
They'll want to be updated to pass those in in a way that makes
sense, but I can't think about that right now.
2. templates: pass --rootfs
If the container is backed by a device which must be mounted (i.e.
lvm) then pass the actual rootfs mount destination to the
templates.
Note that the lxc.rootfs can be a mounted block device. The template
should actually be installing the rootfs under the path where the
lxc.rootfs is *mounted*.
Still, some people like to run templates by hand and assume purely
directory backed containers, so continue to support that use case
(i.e. if no --rootfs is listed).
Make sure the templates don't re-write lxc.rootfs if it is
already in the config. (Most were already checking for that)
3. Replace lxc-create script with lxc_create.c program.
Changelog:
May 24: when creating a container, create $lxcpath/$name/partial,
and flock it. When done, close that file and unlink it. In
lxc_container_new() and lxcapi_start(), check for this file. If
it is locked, create is ongoing. If it exists but is not locked,
create() was killed - remove the container.
May 24: dont disk-lock during lxcapi_create. The partial lock
is sufficient.

implement c->reboot(c) in the api.
Also if the container is not running, return -2. Currently
lxc-stop will return 0, so you cannot tell the difference
between successfull stopping and noop.
Per stgraber's email:
- Remove lxc-shutdown
- Change lxc-stop so that:
* Default behaviour is to call shutdown(), wait 15s for STOPPED, if
not STOPPED, print a message to the user and call stop() [ NOTE:
actually 60 seconds per followup thread]
* We have a -r option to reboot the container (with proper check that
the container indeed rebooted within the next 15s)
* We have a -s option to shutdown the container without the automatic
fallback to stop()
* Add a -k option allowing a user to just kill a container
(equivalent to old lxc-stop, no shutdown() call and no delay).

Add a template to create a cirros container. One great thing about
cirros is that the image you download is 3.5M.
Thanks smoser!
Note by default /etc/inittab doesn't have a /dev/console entry, so you
don't get a login on the lxc-start console. Adding
console::respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 console
makes that work, but ctrl-c still gets forwarded to init which then
reboots. So I didn't bother adding console as part of the template
(yet). Instead I simply lxc-start -d, then lxc-console.

1. commonize waitpid users to use a single helper. We frequently want
to run something in a clean namespace, or fork off a script. This
lets us keep the function doing fork:(1)exec(2)waitpid simpler.
2. start a blockdev backend implementation. This will be used for
mounting, copying, and snapshotting container filesystems.
3. implement btrfs, lvm, directory, and overlayfs backends.
4. For overlayfs, support a new lxc.rootfs format of
'bdevtype:<extra>'. This means you can now use overlayfs-based
containers without using lxc-start-ephemeral, by using
lxc.rootfs = overlayfs:/readonly-dir:writeable-dir
5. add a set of simple clone testcases
6. Write a new lxc_clone.c based on api clone.
Still to do (there's more, but off top of my head):
1. support zfs, aufs
2. have clone handle other mount entries (right now it only clones
the rootfs)
3. python, lua, and go bindings (not me :)
4. lxc-destroy: if lvm backing store, check for snapshots of it.
(what about directories which have overlayfs clones?)
Changes since v2:
Initialize random generator when picking new macaddr (reported
by caglar@10ur.org)
Fix wrong use of bitmask flags
On copy-clone of btrfs, create a subvolume
lxc_clone.c: respect the command line usage of the old script
lxc-clone(1): update documentation
Refuse to try changing backing stores expect to overlayfs, as
it is not implemented (yet) anyway.

This change makes it so the docs can be built with either the older

When we install lxc by manual (configure; make; make install),
all files are installed under /usr/local/. Configuration files
and setting files of containers are stored under /usr/local/ too,
however, only log files are stored under /var/log/ not
/usr/local/var/log.
This patch changes the default log path to $localstatedir/log/lxc

We've been shipping those two hooks for a while in Ubuntu.
Yesterday I reworked them to use the new environment variables and
avoid hardcoding any path that we have available as a variable.
I tested both to work on Ubuntu 13.04 but they should work just as well
on any distro shipping with the cgroup hierarchy in /sys/fs/cgroup and

Those are intended as example and distros are free to drop them, they

Here is a patch to introduce a configurable system-wide
lxcpath. It seems to work with lxc-create, lxc-start,
and basic python3 lxc usage through the api.
For shell functions, a new /usr/share/lxc/lxc.functions is
introduced which sets some of the basic global variables,
including evaluating the right place for lxc_path.
I have not converted any of the other python code, as I was
not sure where we should keep the common functions (i.e.
for now just default_lxc_path()).
configure.ac: add an option for setting the global config file name.
utils: add a default_lxc_path() function
Use default_lxc_path in .c files
define get_lxc_path() and set_lxc_path() in C api
use get_lxc_path() in lua api
create sh helper for getting default path from config file
fix up scripts to use lxc.functions
Changelog:
feb6:
fix lxc_path in lxc.functions
utils.c: as Dwight pointed out, don't close a NULL fin.
utils.c: fix the parsing of lxcpath line
lxc-start: print which rcfile we are using

ridiculous. Clean that up.

Until now, if a lxc-* (i.e. lxc-start) command did not specify a logfile
(with -o logfile), the default was effectively 'none'. With this patch,
the default becomes a per-container log file.
If a container config file specifies 'lxc.logfile', that will override
the default. If a '-o logfile' argument is specifed at lxc-start,
then that will override both the default and the configuration file
entry. Finally, '-o none' can be used to avoid having a logfile at
all (in other words, the previous default), and that will override
a lxc.logfile entry in the container configuration file.
If the user does not have rights to open the default, then 'none' will
be used. However, in that case an error will show up on console. (We
can work on removing that if it annoys people, but I think it is
helpful, at least while we're still ironing this set out) If the user
or container configuration file specified a logfile, and the user does
not have rights to open the default, then the action will fail.
One slight "mis-behavior" which I have not fixed (and may not fix) is
that if a lxc.logfile is specified, the default logfile will still
get created before we read the configuration file to find out there
is a lxc.logfile entry.
changelog: Jan 24:
add --enable-configpath-log configure option
When we log to /var/lib/lxc/$container/$container.log, several things
need to be done differently than when we log into /var/log/lxc (for
instance). So give it a configure option so we know what to do
When the user specifies a logfile, we bail if we can't open it. But
when opening the default logfile, the user may not have rights to
open it, so in that case ignore it and continue as if using 'none'.
When using /var/lib/lxc/$c/$c.log, we use $LOGPATH/$name/$name.log.
Otherwise, we use $LOGPATH/$name.log.
When using /var/lib/lxc/$c/$c.log, don't try to create the log path
/var/lib/lxc/$c. It can only not exist if the container doesn't
exist. We don't want to create the directory in that case. When
using /var/log/lxc, then we do want to create the path if it does
not exist.

The logfile changes broke lxc-info and possibly more command line
tools. Revert for now until we get those issues addressed.
This reverts commit 74476cf144.
[ Thanks to Stéphane and Dwight for the feedback on the previous patch ]
Until now, if a lxc-* (i.e. lxc-start) command did not specify a logfile
(with -o logfile), the default was effectively 'none'. With this patch,
the default becomes $LOGPATH/<container>/<container>.log. LOGPATH is
specified at configure time with '--with-log-path='. If unspecified, it
is $LXCPATH, so that logs for container r2 will show up at
/var/lib/lxc/r2/r2/log. LOGPATH must exist, while lxc will make sure to
create $LOGPATH/<name>. As another example, Ubuntu will likely specify
--with-log-path=/var/log/lxc (and place /var/log/lxc into
debian/lxc.dirs), placing r2's logs in /var/log/lxc/r2/r2.log.
If a container config file specifies 'lxc.logfile', that will override
the default. If a '-o logfile' argument is specifed at lxc-start,
then that will override both the default and the configuration file
entry. Finally, '-o none' can be used to avoid having a logfile at
all (in other words, the previous default), and that will override
a lxc.logfile entry in the container configuration file.
