Hi Bruce, this mailing list is for the lxc-tools which are different from the libvirt-lxc which has implemented its own lxc driver. I think you should ask at the libvirt@ mailing list. At the first glance, what you are describing is correct. It is the simpler way to create a system container. If you plan to run a lot of containers, there are some alternatives with btrfs or the ro-bind mounts to not duplicate the rootfs again and again.
