Actually, looking around my machines, I see that the /mnt/.lxc/NAME solution is only used on one of our container servers and dates back to the time I first solved the /mnt problem (after lots of confusion) - I guess I over-engineered the solution. I notice on a more recently built container server that I'm now using /mnt/SOMENAME, where SOMENAME could indeed be from tempnam (but I use my own name generator based on mcookie). chris > >> For the moment I'll add this to my wrapper script as a dynamic >> configuration passed via the -s option. >> >> >> greetings >> >> Guido >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Live Security Virtual Conference >> Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and >> threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond. >> Discussions >> will include endpoint security, mobile security and the latest in >> malware >> threats. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfrnl04242012/114/50122263/ >> _______________________________________________ >> Lxc-users mailing list >> Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
