Dear Stéphane,

is there any plan to support an (aehm, my) infrastructure design, where (at 
least) all the container rootfs's (and the containers configuration files) are 
on shared filesystem (e.g. NFS) used by the LXC-hosts. In fact, all the 
container private an shared data space is on a shared filesystem resorce, too.

In this design approach, each of the LXC hosts may serve any container. It's 
something like a LXC host cluster, a virtual LXC host in terms of CPU cores and 
RAM. And moving containers between different hosts (by stop and start) will 
need zero time for copying any image or data partitions. I use this to spread 
clustered containers (e.g. MySQL Master/Slave) for production on independent 
hardware or quickly rearrange some sets on the test stage.

It will be great to have some master where one may controll the containers 
without actually have to know where the container is running for the most of 
commands -- except something related to a concrete provisioning of course -- 
and may e.g. list the overall status of all containers on all hosts.


greetings

Guido
