Hi,

 I've synced to git head this afternoon, and firing up a container I now
get 

[r...@islab01 lxc]# lxc-start -n test01.dev.tradefair/
lxc-start: No such file or directory - failed to access to
'/usr/lib64/lxc', check it is present
lxc-start: failed to set rootfs for 'test01.dev.tradefair/'
lxc-start: failed to setup the container

I've traced this to the patch
http://lxc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxc/lxc;a=blobdiff;f=src/lxc/conf.c;h=57b8c1a3ca2fb19c1fd19939c9559bf2bd802499;hp=55eb71599bfcf1f51033bf0d5fff19af04684748;hb=b1789442d69eb756355a53316c9dca4b74671883;hpb=23b7ea696bd3158ec7a0dd88cafa169e63fc8ad3
that adds support for rootfs.mount.

I don't have a lxc.rootfs.mount option in my config file,
so /usr/lib64/lxc seems to be the default (although confusingly
LXCROOTFSMOUNT is /usr/local/lib/lxc).  

        { "lxc.rootfs.mount",         config_rootfs_mount         },
        { "lxc.rootfs",               config_rootfs               },
        { "lxc.pivotdir",             config_pivotdir             },

This now gives us several ways of specifying a root directory.

Can someone help me out and explain what the new option is for?

I suspect I actually want lxc.pivotdir, but most of the howtos on the
interweb seem to use lxc.rootfs, which is likely to break for 0.6.6

Thanks. 

Andy
