I'm not sure, I understand, what you get to point. Or maybe I miss that:) This is, what I do: 1. I create a partition or zfs volume for the container to keep 2. lxc-create -t ubuntu What about this small change? --- /usr/bin/lxc-create.ORIG 2013-03-03 00:38:19.749777404 +0100 +++ /usr/bin/lxc-create 2013-03-03 00:39:17.050725908 +0100 @@ -205,7 +205,7 @@ ;; esac -if [ -d "$lxc_path/$lxc_name" ]; then +if [ -d "$lxc_path/$lxc_name/rootfs" ]; then echo "$(basename $0): '$lxc_name' already exists" >&2 exit 1 fi Though not perfect at all since it cannot handle the case, when there is a mountpoint inside the rootfs (eg. rootfs/var). But I think with this change it would work way comfortable. tamas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
