1.0.10 should be fine though we certainly don't have all that many users of that release now that it's two LTS ago :) In any case, it'll be safe to install LXCFS, then create a test container, confirm it behaves and if it does then start restarting your existing containers, if it doesn't, let us know and we'll try to figure out why. > In order to understand a little bit more about how LXCFS works, does LXCFS > hook into LXC starting process and mount /proc/* files ? That's correct, LXCFS when installed will create a tree at /var/lib/lxcfs those files then get bind-mounted on top of the containers /proc/* files through a LXC startup hook. > Thank you very much again! > > Best, > Martín > > On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 10:52 PM "Stéphane Graber" < ">"Stéphane Graber" > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > lxc-users mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users > > > > > > > > On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 05:08:59PM -0700, Martín Fernández wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > We are using LXC to virtualize containers in multiple of our hosts.
